SearchOperator Parameters.

rbuser

Hi

I have checked through the RAP help in ReportBuilder searching on
SearchOperator to set my search criteria and I found the following
parameters for it :-

soEqual
soNotEqual
soLessThan
soLessThanOrEqualTo
soGreaterThan
soGreaterThanOrEqualTo
soLike
soNotLike
soBetween
soNotBetween
soInList
soNotInList
soBlank
soNotBlank

I could not find a parameter that was equivalent to soAll (show all
records). Is there one so that in my report I can set this value to this
parameter?

In order to show all, there is a checkbox in the autosearch dialog for each
field that allows you to show all values. If you aren't showing the
autosearch dialog, but want to show all values, then you simply have to
leave the criteria blank. For example, try modifying the end user autosearch
example in the autosearch demos directory to be coded such that when you
click the 'A' speedbutton:

procedure TForm1.ppReport1GetAutoSearchValues(Sender: TObject);
begin
if (ppReport1.AutoSearchFieldCount = 0) then Exit;

if (ppReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].FieldName = 'Company') then
begin
if FRolodexLetter = 'A' then
ppReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].SearchExpression := ''
else
ppReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].SearchExpression := FRolodexLetter;
end;
end;

What I really wanted to know, was there a search operator for selecting all
records so that I could force the report do do so.

The way to do it was in my last post. There is no 'search on all'
enumeration in that type.
