I am not really answering Mary's question, but rather providing info about the Search Form that she (and others) may find interesting.
There is a Search Form attribute Include Checkboxes which is by default set to False. When set to True, a checkbox appears next to each field. Checkboxes can be used to specify which columns should be shown for the result set. Note that the columns can be properties of resources user is searching for as well as properties of the resources that are related to them. For example, let's say we had a kennedy:state object property for all colleges in Kennedys ontology. And that there was a class :Region and a class :State and that individual states were connected to geographic regions using :inRegion property. For example, :NewYork :inRegion :NorthEast, etc. We could then formulate a search to find all Kennedys which went to a school located in the North East and use the checkboxes to select their first name, last name, the name of a college they went to and the state the college is located in. In this example, two of the four column values would come from the related resources (colleges). For this to work Include Nested Forms attribute needs to be also set to truth. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Henninger Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 5:41 PM To: TopBraid Suite Users Subject: [topbraid-users] Re: word wrap in pick lists MP; I'm not entirely sure where this is occurring. Text fields in the Search form display a constant size that can be changed by making the search view larger or smaller. Word wrap isn't currently supported. You can also modify the contents of the search field using Form Layout in Composer. Choose the SearchForm Mode in Form Layout (for more see Help > User Interface Overview > Resource Editor > Form Layout Panel). <<Currently the field resizes iteslf to the maximum label length which requires the user to scroll to expose the list button for each list in the form>> Do you mean the Autocomplete list? -- Scott On Jun 14, 3:26 pm, mp <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, I should have said "field" display size, not pane size.
