Creating a custom auto search dialog.

rbuser

Hi

I would like to change report builders source code so that it can either
use its current auto search dialog but include datatype detection and
create the appropriate control for that datatype. Or i could like to
create my own search dialog so that for each different datatype that comes
through as a variable will result in the function creating an appropriate
control. Eg
if the parameter is a date/time, then the control would be a datetime edit
or drop down. If it a currency or numeric value then a currency edit or
mask edit. Please help with suggestions on how to approach this matter
because report builders help file is not to detailed in this regard. Some
examples would be an advantage.

Thanks In Advance

Hi,

For future reference, we prefer that you use your real name when posting to
these newsgroups.

Take a look at the example located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\4.
Custom AutoSearch Dialog\... directory. This example shows how to replace
the built-in AutoSearch dialog with your own.
