dropdown Select
Contents
BS: Create Drop-down from Select command.
The SQL-Command is executing while create the drop-down-list
The SQL statement is executed directly before the drop-down window is displayed. Placeholder for WHERE condition is possible.
The first select field is always returned to the input field
Best place to define is
global function form_opened
// definnition
end global
if result related to another field, which the use can change, then the best place is the event "click on dropodown icon of the field", example for udf1:
global function dw_1_item_udf1_p_click
// definition
end global
Example::
global function form_opened
dw_1.item.udf1.dropdown.select "OITM"."ItemCode" from "OITM" order by "OITM"."ItemCode"
end global
With 2 values
global function form_opened
dw_1.item.udf1.dropdown.select "OITM"."ItemCode","ItemName" from "OITM" order by "OITM"."ItemCode"
end global
Return information
All other fields saved in variables: dd:[fieldname]
Example: If you choose "B_RM" in this drop-down, Beas creates the following variables:
dd:itemcode = "B_RM"
dd:itemname = "Raw Material / Normal"
Field Width
The size of field with is calculated automatically
If you define a field name with post fix "__Number" you can change the field width
Example: You want to see only Description, but you want tot return the itemcode
You can change the width to 1 pxl (0 is not allowed)
dw_1.item.udf1.dropdown.select "OITM"."ItemCode" as i__1,"ItemName" from "OITM" order by "OITM"."ItemCode"
Note: You change the width and the name of return value
In this case the itemcode is saved in variable dd:i__1
Pre defined Drop-downs
You can work with pre defined Select commands.
With Comma separator you can define additional properties.
item.mycolumn.dropdown.select select:oitm<tab>ddfilter="OITM"."Descrption" like "*grp*"
See list of pre defined dropdowns:
Formatted Drop-downs
You can set the format in the drop-down window, example set title, color and many more properties.
