Lookup and pick field

[phabio]

Hi all,
from a bit of time, I'm trying to create a more refined lookup-pick list "Autosuggestion".
With Lianja, I can set a variety of fields from a table to search for a code.



But when it has to do with a hundreds or thousands of record (eg a invent table or even customers), sometimes you need to search for data by setting multiple filters ..


someone managed to do something like this?

Thanks
Fabio

Hi Phabio,

This will be easier when "components" are made available, but for now you can create a Custom Control with a button (that brings up whatever you want to do for selection) and textbox for showing the result in the grid. Check with Josip to get the "Custom Control" forum posts.

Hi Hank,
but "Custom Control" work only inside a Grid section.. or not?

thanks

Hi Fabio,

it's even easier with a "field" in a form section: use the Dialog Button attribute (and delegate) to bring up your selection form in whatever way you want. You showed a grid, so I responded to that.

Yes Hank, it is a good idea, but for each code, I have to leave the keyboard, take the mouse to click on the button, click the button -> opens a form of browse + search fields -> then I have to click on a some field, type the search ..

I was looking for something simpler for the user ..

And the "Dialog button" is visible only if I'm on edit mode, not if I edit a single field.

Yes. What's the problem?
