We'll be putting together some demos to address this in the near future
and will announce on this newsgroup at that time.

ClentReport: Customizing AutoSearch
-------------------------------------------

There are two approaches to customizing autosearch when using the
ClientReport component.

a. Customize the built-in autosearch dialog in the same manner as
applies to a standard TppReport (see RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\Custom
AutoSearch Dialog).

b. Use the ClientReport.OnReceiveAutoSearchFieldsEvent. This event fires
when the client report receives autosearch fields from the server. In
the event-handler, you can programmatically set the search values. You
can optionally set ShowAutoSearchDialog to False to suppress the
autosearch dialog and then call PrintToDevices to send the autosearch
values to the server.


example:

ClientReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].ShowAllValues := False;
ClientReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].SearchExpression := 'A';

{optional code to suppress the autosearch dialog and generate the
report}
ClientReport1.ShowAutoSearchDialog := False;
ClientReport1.PrintToDevices;

Thank you, Nard. I will have a look OnReceiveAutoSearchFields Event to
create my custom autosearch dialog.
