Own dropdowns

rbuser

Hi

My RB end user environment uses views, no tables.
The views contain both the id and the description for some fields.
Example : COUNTRY_ID and COUNTRY

The user may select "i want all customers from holland"

Now they have to fill in "holland"

I want the query to be :

select * from customers where country_id = 25

instead of

select * from customers where country = "Holland"

the one with the id is much faster.

So i want to give the users a dropdown with country selection and let fill
in the ID in the query.

Is this possible and if so is there an example?

- check out RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\Custom AutoSearch Dialog

- as shown in the example you can create a custom AutoSearchDialog class and
custom AutoSearchPanel classes. You AutoSearchDialog can contain logic to
determine which autoseachpanels are used for specific datafields.
