Enabling Search on a widget form

When you first create a "Grid with Search" widget form, the Search functionality is not automatically enabled, because the Search engine does not know what property values it needs to search through.

To enable Search for one of these widgets, you must perform a small edit to the form script that handles the Search functionality:

  1. Open your "Grid with Search" widget form in the Web Designer (web client) or Design Mode (Windows client).
  2. On the Form Properties sheet, locate and select the Edit Form Script option in the upper left corner.
  3. In the Script Editor, locate the sub Search() subroutine.
  4. In the sub Search() subroutine, locate the code for FilterVal = {InsertPropertyName}...
  5. Replace InsertPropertyName with the name of the IDO property you want to allow the user to search on.
  6. Click OK.
