Pull Down list from data

rbuser

Hello,

I guess my first question is can a pull down list be produced and used to
feed a search?

If so, can the list be constructed from a field in the data?

I have a file with an engineers field. This fields holds names, but they
would repeat themselves through the records. I would like to create a pull
down list that would just show the first instance of a name such as:

Joe C.
Frank M.
Betty H.
etc, etc.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Mark,

Take a look at the custom autosearch dialog example located in the
\RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\4. Custom AutoSearch Dialog\... directory.
This gives a good idea how to customize an AutoSearch dialog to meet your
specific needs. From there you could possibly create a ComboBox that lists
each name gathered from a separate lookup dataset in your app.
