Showing Auto search dialog

rbuser

The auto search dialog is not showing up. Tracing through, it looks like it
is populating the auto search list, but the TppReport events
BeforeAutoSearchDialogCreate and GetAutoSearchValues are not being called.

Already looked at the examples, and they work fine.

I'm sure I've missed something simple. Just can't figure out what.

Any ideas?

Hi Peter,

Be sure you have the ShowAutoSearchDialog property set to True for the
report you are using. This will need to be saved down in the template you
are loading or assigned after it is loaded.

Note that from the designer (at runtime or design time) if you tab over to
the preview window, by design the autosearch dialog will not display. We
found this becomes extremely annoying while trying to design reports. Your
users can use the autosearch feature by selecting the magnifying glass on
the top toolbar in the preview window. If an autosearch condition is
defined, the dialog should automatically pop up when you directly preview a
report.
