Hello all,

 

I am trying to implement the PFC dropdown datawindow search but I can only make it to work in datawindows that have one column only (the dddw). I am not sure why this is not working for datawindows which have multiple columns from which only one is a dddw and needs to be searched.

Here is the code I am using for reference:

 

Constructor:

dw_emp.of_SetDropDownSearch(TRUE)
dw_emp.inv_dropdownsearch.of_Register("ac_key")

Editchanged:

if IsValid (inv_dropdownsearch) then
    inv_dropdownsearch.event pfc_editchanged (row, dwo, data)
end if

Itemfocuschanged:

inv_dropdownsearch.Event pfc_ItemFocusChanged (row, dwo)
 
 
Thank you very much!

Hi Raj,

I have working it also in datawindows with more columns. Your code seems to be ok. Check the return code of of_register function. It should be 1.

You may try to call the of_register function without a parameter to register all columns the service supports.

Remember that

- the column have edit style dddw or ddlb

- for dddw the display column is specified

- dddw display column data type is a character type

For dddw columns the service also stores the DataWindowChild for the column. If you do some changed to the datawindow that destroys the DataWindowChild you have to re-register the column.

HTH,

René

Thanks René! Changing the call of the of_register function to no parameter did the trick!
