Making AutoSearch Dialog non-modal

rbuser

I haven't dug into the code yet, but I was hoping a property could be
set to make the Autosearch dialog non-modal, so that my clients could
move around the program to check data before committing the report to
printing/displaying.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I think you will need to show your own custom autosearch dialog, instead of
the modal RB autosearch dialog. Call Report.Print after the dialog only
when it is closed. This way, the user can switch back to your app to look
at data, and then back to the your autosearch dialog, and then when the
autosearch dialog is closed, you'll need to modify the search criteria in
code, as shown in the RBuilder/Demos/EndUser/Autosearch/ examples, based on
the data that the user previously entered in the dialog.
