How to change to prompt for AutoSearch values

rbuser

Using the AutoSerach feature, the user is prompted to enter a criteria
value. However, in the dialog the name of the variable is used, wich is not
user friendly. Is it possible to change the text for the prompted variable?
Using the SQL statement it would be nice to be able to change the alias, but
this does not seem to be possible.

Any ideas?

One approach is to use the Data Dictionary component. Run the Auto Join demo
in the main End User demo directory for an example. Double click the
dictionary at design time to run the Data Dictionary builder.

Another way to do it without the dictionary is to use the
Report.BeforeAutosearchDialogCreate event, you can set the autosearch field
field alias. Use RAP in the end user context.

Report.AutosearchFields[0].FieldAlias := 'Aliased Company Name';
