AddBookMark with DADE

rbuser

I tried out the multi-select dbGrid selection example - works quite
nicely.

However, I'm trying to modify a master-detail DADE-based report to
include multiple "pick me" functionality.

It occurs to me that being able to connect a dbGrid to the same
Tdatasource that the DADE master DV internal pipleline might be a quick
way to do this...

I tried it. The dbGrid isn't activated until the first time the report is
generated.

Assuming I find a way to get around this, and add multi-select to the
dbGrid, and add a loop for "AddBookMark" to the internal DADE DV
pipeline... What can I expect in other problems?

Is there a better way to address this?

After struggling to get everything setup under DADE *without* using
"external" TQuery, TDatasource and Tpipeline objects, I'd hate to go
back...

Thanks,

Here are two demos which do this but with different approaches. One uses
bookmarks on the pipeline and the other creates search criteria.

Cool! I just spent all day working out how to do it in an alternate
fashion: I steal the SQLObject "magic sql" and preview in a separate
query, then parse the bookmarks out to get key select criteria and add to
the SQLObject. I'm happy to compare techniques however!
