Dialog field size
Hi,
when i create parameters for a dialog at the start of the report it often happens that the size of the field which contains the namefield value is too short. how is it possible to increase this size ? For example if i have an item number and a description in one string, this composed string ist cut at the end. the user is not always able to find out if he chooses the right item. Also is it possible when a namefield has been selected in a list that the corresponding valuefield is displayd in a readonly field below the first field?
Thanks for your answers!

I will need more detailed information to recreate this issue.
Assuming you are using the AutoSearch dialog, which control is being cut off?
The AutoSearch dialog is dynamically created based on the search condition defined for the parameter. Are you selecting the search parameter from a combo box (drop down) control, or perhaps a list box? This is not a built-in feature of the AutoSearch dialog. It is possible to completely customize the dialog yourself to meet any specific needs. See the Custom AutoSearch Dialog example located in the \Demos\5. AutoSearch\4. Custom AutoSearch Dialog\ directory.
