Hi Rachael,
Thank you. By the way in SnappMX it is possible to show only number of records
on screen based on types caracter and so there is a very low bandwith and very
fast screen display. But there are many ways to make a search list record on 1
page.
I will test your solution and let you know.
Marco

caracters
No that's an 'On Type' or 'On Click' event in a flash object and if you've
done that sort of development and I have, if your list gets to be a couple
thousand or more refreshing that list after every character type drives users
nuts! The reason is, say they want Green, so they type 'G' and then there is a
system hesitation as the list refresh, 'R' again the hesitation , and so on and
the bigger the list the longer the pause. It actually works better to let the
user type their filter info, then when they are done, refresh the list.
As far as RBase you have enter,exit, and right click events on an edit box
that you can use to filter your list. Go ahead and look at the sample I sent
you and play with it maybe you want to take it and create an 'on exit' eep to
fresh that list. The sample is based off of a Razzak sample and I use
something similar to find contacts, inventory items, sales, and any other
record lists that are huge and a user needs to find one particular record. So
far I've had really positive feedback on it because it allows the user to
filter not just on one list field like last name but they get to pick what
field they wish to filter and whether the filter data is found in the beginning
of the field, equals the field, or contained somewhere in the field. Also on
that same look up form you can add a button to 'add new contact'.
Have a Fabulous Day!

Subject: [RBASE-L] - edit box with update of list after typing in caracters
Hi,
Is it possible to add on a R:BASE form an edit box where you can type in
the first caracters of a lastname where the list of lastnames is updated after
entering a caracter to make the list of lastnames smaller and
Sample:
Green
Groeneveld
Sample on internet based SnappMX RIA solution for R:BASE:
http://69.65.118.142/snappmx/?screenId=1
Here you can type in gr and you see the list updated immediately. a scpae
is showing all records. You can add a new record with the Nieuw button and
click on a record in the list to change an existing record
Best regards,
Marco
