Changing the Autosearch labels

rbuser

Is there any way that i can alter the labels that appear on the Autosearch
dialog, inside a report. For example, the text which says, "Show all data
where the is greater than" i would like to change this to something
else, from within the report. Is this possible?

Hi Mark,

It is possible to completely customize the autosearch dialog in
ReportBuilder. Take a look at the demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
AutoSearch\4. Custom AutoSearch Dialog\... directory for an example of this.

Is there anyway to do this in the Report, rather than in Delphi, as i'd like
it to be the clients responsiblity to do this, rather than ours.

Many Thanks

Mark,

Please post questions to a single destination - either the newsgroups or
support@digital-metaphors.com but not both.

This question was also sent to support@digital-metaphors.com. Here is the
email reply that I sent...

You can do the following...

- it is possible to use the Select page of the Query Designer to rename the
field alias, then the field alias will be displayed in the place
holder.

- the caption such as, 'Show all data where the is greater than' is
dynamically built by RB using strings stored in the language resource files.
So international language support is provided. By changing the
Report.Language property.

- the RBuilder\Demos\Custom AutoSearch Dialog example shows an example of
creating a custom autosearch panel. One option would be to replace all of
RB's autosearch panels with custom versions that you create. Enduser cannot
do this, but you could perhaps create some custom panels that allow the user
to modify the caption somehow...


Best regards,
