I know a list with 200 items is not a good design but
I can't think of anything else to use. I probably will
end up using two databases to populate the lists at
runtime to avoid maintenance headache.
Just draw the list direct from the database.
That brings up another question. Is it possible to
show the text in the list window but hold an id (pk
from the database) as the key to the entry? So when I
match the entry with another database, I can use the
id as cross reference to compare instead of text.
Use a custom draw list -- then, you draw the list items yoruself from the
database, and you can use whatever fields you want, since you control
exactly what goes on the screen. The user will pick an item and you'll get
in index number that you can use for whatever purpose.
Forgive me for this question... I feel so ashamed to
ask. I don't seem to be able to find the place to
change project settings. It's not under Preferences
nor Project.
What settings are you wanting to change, and what toolset are you using?
