One of the cool things I learned about at the conference was that there is a
search feature that can be attached to a grid or a list.
Unfortunately even with sample code from George, hints from Gabriel, I can't
quite make the connection.
First, does this feature work with both lists and grids? Or just one?
Second, is there a reference in any release notes or other documentation.
And, to make life simple, what is the syntax that makes this all work?
Thanks for any help !

[BR_forum] Search with Grid / List
Nice example!
25790 Input #EMF_WIN, Fields "1,16,SEARCH 30,U,2,1;2,1,LIST 19/59,ROWCNT,SEL" : SEARCH_ARG$,AVAIL_ROWS
I pulled this one line out of the sample. It might not have been obvious with all of that code.
1,16,SEARCH 30,U,2,1
Row,Column,SEARCH ##,Attribute,List Row,List Column.
It’s almost like a “C”, but you add the List information at the end of the line.
I think that we tested grids during the conference, and found it’s lists only!

Larry,
Here is a subroutine of a List Window with a Search included.
see the attached screen shot "Search_Window.jpg" for the finished product.
The attached srchwin.wbs file is the code.
Pay attention to the line with "sort", this is the key to searching on the name in column 2.
It uses Gabriel's Fileio to build the data for the list, but this is not required - Fileio just makes life easier in the long run.
I think search may work in a grid, but haven't tried that - I have enough problems with grids already.

[BR_forum] Search with Grid / List
SEARCH works very well. In my applications however, I found that I often wanted to search on something other than the first characters of a column and so have added functions to FNSNAP that will search arrays for an instance of the search criteria and build an array of the row numbers that match. I then append a routine to the normal LIST or GRID query that advances the cursor to the next instance by pressing F3. When the last on is reached the F3 cycles back to the first again.
Following is the code that I use (excluding the FNSNAP functions) to display a list or grid and then search (F2 initiates the search, F3 continues it).
00001 MAT HEADERS$(5) !:
LET HEADERS$(1)="Invoice" !:
LET HEADERS$(2)="Date" !:
LET HEADERS$(3)="Unpaid" !:
LET HEADERS$(4)="This run" !:
LET HEADERS$(5)="Balance"
00002 MAT WIDTHS(5) !:
LET WIDTHS(1)=6 !:
LET WIDTHS(2)=10 !:
LET WIDTHS(3)=12 !:
LET WIDTHS(4)=12 !:

00004 LET FNWINROWCOL(0,LROW,LCOL) ! function is in VOL002NEWSCRN.DLL
00005 LET AROWS=0 : LET SROW=4 : LET SCOL=3 !:
LET LCOLS=MIN(LCOL-SROW-2,SUM(MAT WIDTHS)+2) !:
LET LROWS=MIN(LROW-SROW-2,MAX(3,AD+2+AROWS))
(AROWS is additional rows to add to the bottom of the window that is opened to hold the list or grid so that buttons or other information can be added there)
00007 LET LISTSPEC$=FNLISTSPEC$(LISTWIN,SROW,SCOL,LROWS,LCOLS,AROWS,MAT HEADERS$,MAT WIDTHS,MAT FORMS$,"Select Invoice") !:
! add ,GRID$ after "select Invoice" to make a grid where grid$="GRID"

ELSE !:
LET FF=1 : LET CURFLD(1,SELECT(FF)) : GOTO 10

00017 LET CURFLD(1,SELECT(FF)) !:
GOTO 10
00018 END IF
00019 IF NOT (FK=0 OR FK=99) THEN GOTO 10
00020 CLOSE #LISTWIN: !:
LET LISTWIN=0
FNLISTSRCH does a case insensitive search of a named character array
FNLISTSRCHN does a case insensitive search of a numeric array by converting each element to a string before searching
All functions referenced are in FNSNAP.dll
In some cases the imbedded search of BR works great, in other cases the “extended” search capability of the FNLISTSRCH functions works great. It’s good to have multiple tools.

Variable Positioning Control Field
RINPUT FIELDS "nn,nn,15/SEARCH 10,leading-attributes,row,col": str-value
Where row,col addresses a GRID or LIST that has been sorted on a column.
This causes the 'current' position to progressively reposition based on
the last column sorted. If no column has been sorted, the an error is
generated.

2) The listview HAS to be sorted before the user tries to type into the search box. (You can do this by programatically sorting the list).
3) The you input from your listview and your sort box at the same time.
Other people have already chimed in with code examples.

The keys are:
1) It doesn't work with a GRID, only with a LIST
2) The listview HAS to be sorted before the user tries to type into
the search box. (You can do this by programatically sorting the list).
3) The you input from your listview and your sort box at the same time.
Other people have already chimed in with code examples.
Let us know if you are still having troubles.

[BR_forum] Search with Grid / List
I am using a grid to input orders. The grid shows item numbers, descriptions and prices. The quantity column is empty, because that is where ordered quantities will be entered.
The operator would like to goto a particular item number. The item number would be entered into the search field and the corresponding row might be returned.
However, the search field needs to be linked to a list. Can I switch back and forth between a list and a grid?
The only thing a list will provide is a row that has been selected
Would the process look something like this-
Print list
Input search
Print grid

Ok, how do I use this info. How does this connect to the list or grid?
I sort the grid using:

I give the grid info via:
RINPUT FIELDS "nn,nn,15/SEARCH 10,leading-attributes,row,col": str-value
Is row 10 and col 40?
Shouldn’t there be a GRID 10/40 somewhere in that line?

[BR_forum] Search with Grid / List
Larry,
Following is a sample listview with a sort. To keep the example short I have left off the code that builds the arrays for the fields in the listview. I am assuming you already have code that works to build arrays.
In this example, mat ClientHeadings$, mat ClientWidths, and mat ClientSpec$ are the definition of the columns in your listview.
The arrays that are called Mat CLV_Something$ in the example contain the actual data to display on the listview.
The steps required to get your search box working are:
1) Draw the listview
2) Populate the listview
3) Sort the listview through code
4) Input from the listview and the search box.
! Draw Listview
print #0, fields "6,9,LIST 15/65,HEADERS,[LVHEADERS]" : (Mat Clientheadings$, Mat Clientwidths, Mat Clientspec$)
! Populate Listview
print #0, fields "6,9,LIST 15/65,=" : (Mat Clv_Acct$,Mat Clv_Name$,Mat Clv_Street$,Mat Clv_Town$)
! Presort List On Acct Num
print #0, fields "6,9,LIST 15/65,SORT": 1
! Input from the listview and the search box.
input #0, fields "4,34,SEARCH 25,,6,9;6,9,LIST 15/65,ROWSUB,SELONE" : Search$,Selectedrow
Now, take a closer look at the last line, the input statement. You want to input from both your search box and your listview at the same time - that way they will both be active at the same time. The format for the search box is "row,col,SEARCH width,,ListviewRow,ListviewCol". The format for the listview is "ListviewRow,ListviewCol,LIST Height/Width". The ListviewRow and ListviewCol is what tells the search box which listview to search through. All the rest of the magic is handled for us in BR.
Does this explanation help?

Here is a subroutine of a List Window with a Search included.

The attached srchwin.wbs file is the code.
Pay attention to the line with "sort", this is the key to searching on the name in column 2.
It uses Gabriel's Fileio to build the data for the list, but this is not required - Fileio just makes life easier in the long run.

One of the cool things I learned about at the conference was that there is a
search feature that can be attached to a grid or a list.
Unfortunately even with sample code from George, hints from Gabriel, I can't
quite make the connection.
First, does this feature work with both lists and grids? Or just one?
Second, is there a reference in any release notes or other documentation.
And, to make life simple, what is the syntax that makes this all work?
Thanks for any help !

[BR_forum] Search with Grid / List
Yes!! I finally located the source of my problem. The Search control needed the row and col where the starting row and columun of the list /grid control I wanted to connect to. That;s why I kept asking what the various parameters meant.
I can confirm that the SEARCH command works equally well with both LISTs and GRIDs.
I fully empathize with Susan, about what we know and what we have forgotten and why one approach may be favored over another. All too often we are racing to complete a project, choosing anything that works. We envy those operations with a stuff that work out which approach is best in terms of speed, etc (lol) !
I am very grateful for everyone’s help and willingness to share.
Extra especially grateful on these holidays and weekends. BRers never sleep !

Subject: Re: [BR_forum] Search with Grid / List
Larry,
Following is a sample listview with a sort. To keep the example short I have left off the code that builds the arrays for the fields in the listview. I am assuming you already have code that works to build arrays.
In this example, mat ClientHeadings$, mat ClientWidths, and mat ClientSpec$ are the definition of the columns in your listview.
The arrays that are called Mat CLV_Something$ in the example contain the actual data to display on the listview.
The steps required to get your search box working are:
1) Draw the listview
2) Populate the listview
3) Sort the listview through code
4) Input from the listview and the search box.
! Draw Listview
print #0, fields "6,9,LIST 15/65,HEADERS,[LVHEADERS]" : (Mat Clientheadings$, Mat Clientwidths, Mat Clientspec$)
! Populate Listview
print #0, fields "6,9,LIST 15/65,=" : (Mat Clv_Acct$,Mat Clv_Name$,Mat Clv_Street$,Mat Clv_Town$)
! Presort List On Acct Num
print #0, fields "6,9,LIST 15/65,SORT": 1
! Input from the listview and the search box.
input #0, fields "4,34,SEARCH 25,,6,9;6,9,LIST 15/65,ROWSUB,SELONE" : Search$,Selectedrow
Now, take a closer look at the last line, the input statement. You want to input from both your search box and your listview at the same time - that way they will both be active at the same time.

Thanks for posting back with your results Larry. I haven't tried the search yet, but I'm working on a project right now where it will probably be used often. So now I can go back in the conversations and follow your path to success! ("path to success"? How cheesy did THAT sound? <g>)
