Search in Multibox

[mhmmd_srf]

Hi All,

I had to use Multi Box for Selection as user wanted to see this as Drop Down. Now they want to have a search facility also.

Is there any way to implement this Search in Multi Box?

Please help.

Thanks,

Sarif

I don't think so.

But you can give try with search object and optimize it as per your requirement.

Hi Mohammad,

You can use a standard search object. In the settings, specify the fields included in your Multi Box.

Hi Mohammad,

You can search in Multi Box of course - just click on one of the fields from Multi Box and start typing - the small search window will appear. You can even do a wildcard search etc. in it.

Sample:

Yes Milosz sir.

It is there and it is working in we assign single Field to that Multi Box.

Let say if we Assign Item No, it is working. But if we make an expression Like Item no & ' -' & Item Name, the search button is not working.

Please help.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can add Expression (instead of field) to Multi Box as you presented (create something like "calculated" field). For example "=Dim1&' '&Dim2". But if you want to search over it with method I presented you need do use * at the beginning and the end.

And if you want to do this automatically you need to switch some settings in "Document properties" -> "Presentation" tab. There is section "Multi Box and List Box default". If you will set "Use Wildcard Search" in "Default Search Mode" it will add * automatically.
