----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on BDOTNET
----------------------------------------------------------- From: surajmsn Message 5 in Discussion Hi Ranga, i can understand what u are pointing towards. There were a few 3rd party active X controls avalable for vb6 but in case of .net i am afraid there is not an option like that atleast not for asp.net. What we have done in our project is where ever we feel there is a requiremnt for more than onle column ( key field) ( which is the case most of the tiems in business applications), we have developed a server controled called browse ( functionality similar to Oracle's D2k LOV or List of values, u would know if you have use oracle forms 4.5 and above.) We have developed this control with a dynamic datagrid so that when you retrive the data from the source based on the number of columns the grid creats and fills the popup and shows it to the user when a push button place next to the text box is pressed using the window.opener event of the MS IE. Then we have a select link for every row and once selected thevalue is returned back to the text box. This works specially when u have more than 1 columns to display for example with employee code u have to show first name and last name. You can also extend the control by adding search functionality. I hope i have cleard you doubt. In case of clarifications please revert.
