Make Filtering with Search Box

[abdullah123456789]

Hello,

Are there any filtering function in Geo SCADA Expert 2021? I mean, i want to create a something like combo box and i want to search any item in this list. (It looks like the database tree but database tree is useless. For example, when i search some item it has found but i cant select this item. I must clear the search box and after that i can choose. Also this search command cant search in subfolder, it search in only main folder. I need to expand the main folder so I can search in subfolders.)

If i can add a search box of this type with using script or method, can i make real filtering?

Are you referring to the filter feature in the ViewX database explorer? This filters the visible objects in the explorer. You can then select one of the resulting objects. See Filter the Entries in an Explorer Bar in the help.

Have you tried using the 'Search Database' feature in ViewX? This searches the whole database. You can then select one of the resulting objects - use the 'Locate is Database Explorer' option (right-click) to go to that object in the database explorer. See Searching for Database Items in the help.

You can also search the database by filtering a list. See Queries Bar and Filter a List in the help.

What I want is to be able to easily access the subfolders after the item I am looking for is found. Finding it from Search Database and then right-clicking does not work for me. In addition, since the Database Explorer and Ribbon features will become inaccessible in the future, a form I will create will be more useful for me.

Actually, I want something like this. When I type the signal name in the box opposite Signal name, it lists all of the signals with that name, and unlike the Database Explorer, I can select from that list with a double click.

So I assume you want to build a custom user interface using scripting, rather than use the user interface built into ViewX.

You could create a script that displays a form to prompt for the signal name and then use that in an SQL query to search the database and present the results to the user in a second form (see Form.AddQuery). You can then select a row in this query's results (this isn't a double-click).

I can reach the Set Value window by using the Pick Action- Object Menu option. The value I entered in this window can be viewed in the text box I linked. However, I can see the only value I have entered in the Set Value window in this text box. In other words, there is no such thing as being able to choose one among many options as in the Generate Report window. This is exactly what I need. Is it not possible to adapt the yellow highlighted cursor in the Generate Report window to the Set Value window besides the Generate Report window? Can't I print this selected value in the text box I created after showing more than one value in Set Value and choosing from among them?

Set Value options are mentioned in the link I shared below. Are these options only? Can't the Set Value window be adjusted other than those mentioned?

A variable is simply an object that holds a value (or an array of values). The 'Set Value' method on a variable allows you to change this value. That's the extent of functionality provided by variables. If you want to build a custom user interface for setting the value of a variable you'll need to use mimic scripting.

In comparison, a Crystal Report is a document (an ".rpt" file) which can contain parameters and those parameters can have an enumeration associated with them. The 'Generate Report' method extracts the parameters out of the document to build the dialog box, which includes using a combo-box for any parameters with an enumeration.
