Former Member

Hi,

I need to configure the list of available fields in the ChooseFromList of a user's screen. The data are apparently stored in the CHFL. Is there any object to manipulate this information? I can configure the columns?


I would like to customize the name, and the field.

Thanks

Hi Paulo,

You should use Formatted Seach (Shift+F2), choose query to load data.

Hi Paulo,

You can use the ChooseFromList object and ChooseFromList_Lines from the DI API. This allows you to set those. IIRC after customizing the display you have to logout and login for the change to take effect (but here I'm not 100% sure).

You can find more info in the SDK Help Center.

Good luck.

Hi Pedro,

Was checking the FindCollumns of UDO solves my problem. Only is a doubt, it is possible to set the column name? According to my tests the name of the column is automatically obtained from the registry. It makes me have the problem, because the 'Code' field should bring a most beautiful name.


Additionally, the difference between the ChooseFromList Settings and UDO FindCollumns would just be the first uses the SBO form configuration?


Thanks,
Regards

Hi Paulo,

There's another way to do it , good job. Yes you can override the column description. You can do it in the same location as the find column selection. One of the columns during the "Find columns" selection is "Column description".

Pedro,

Yes
, but the name of the column cannot be modified, only description. The description will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. I will study which of the two I use and I will check the suggestion given by friend Toan to use FormatedSearch.


Thanks for all the help.

Hi Paulo,

That's ok. I know for sure that using the ChooseFromList object allows you to change the title on the CFL if you run into trouble.
