Customised Autosearch Dialog Forms

edited August 2005 in End User
I know that this may be going over old ground but here goes...

I have an end user report solution..works great.

Only thing now is users want easier forms to use for the Autosearch ie
dropdowns, calendar controls etc. Had a look at the sample and see that this
can be done.

I have hundreds of reports so I want to create a form on the fly that works
out what controls it needs and then creates the form.

Is there any guidance anywhere on this apart from just looking at the sample
and working it out.

Cheers guys in advance

Mark

    Hi Mark,

    The Custom Autosearch Dialog example should give you a good idea how you
    might approach the task of creating and registering a custom dialog. I'm a
    bit unclear about what other "guidence" you would like in this process. If
    you need to create this dialog on the fly, you will probably need to have
    some sort of generic dialog class that has the ability to take a number of
    parameters to define how the final dialog should look, then using a number
    of "Builder" functions, creating the custom controls and registering the
    dialog before it is displayed in RB.

    Just some general guidance would be good as there is for generating custome
    Explorer forms.
