BrowseDialog - true/false combo

Aaron Young — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:03:19 GMT

I have a true/false bit field in SQL and I would like to display this to a user in a browse dialog as a combobox containing true/false selections. I have played around with the Combo - Enum option in the SearchFields dialog but I can't seem to get it to work for System.Boolean.

Assuming that this is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

P.S. I was trying to use the Combo - Enum option as I don't think I can use a CheckBox?

Works great - thanks!

By the way, the BrowseDialog is a very powerful control - I particularly like the subtle Time Action on the date. That tells me someone has been there and done that before me! :)

Actually you are going down the right road and getting close. You will want to use the Enum options and create an enum with values like this:

[codesnippet]Public Enum MyBooleanEnum as Integer
No = 0
Yes = 1
End Enum[/codesnippet]

[codesnippet]Public Enum MyBooleanEnum as Integer
False = 0
True = 1
End Enum[/codesnippet]

Once you have the enum, then you will assign this when setting up the SearchField. Then you will want to assign a value of -1 as the "Not Used" value for the TopMost Item (Combo - General page) which is should be by default anyway. This should work just fine as I did it the other day.
