Any thoughts as to how one might go about implementing a dynamic
filtered search "control" to a window?
If have done this before the times of container controls and so this
is waiting for a big refactoring.
First there should be a master container control which manages the
visual appearance of the different search container controls which I
called SearchItems.
On startup the master creates one searchitem and registered itself.
Each searchitem has the two add and remove buttons. When a button is
pressed the searchitem asked the master to create a new one or delete
it (but not the first one)
The master creates a new searchitem and places it direct after the
caller and moving other items downwards if necessary.
Now the search logic: Let's say you have an array of objects
(Me.Data) which should be searched. The searchitem has a found as
Boolean function and can decide if this object meets the criteria of
the item. Then the search function could be called by the master
(which has ItemStore property with all the seachitems)
Dim Found() As Object
For Each Obj As Object In Me.Data
For Each Item As SearchItem In Me.ItemStore
If Item.Found(Obj) Then Found.Append Obj
Next
Next
That is my basic design which works well and fast for large datasets.
Is that what you are looking for?
