Data Connected Selections |

Trinione | Unless I am missing something components such as the Listbox and ButtonComboBox require manual work to get them to list data properly with connected datasets.
For example, a drop down list of say Employee Names and their Employee ID requires a list to be manually managed. I am not seeing any way to hold the EmployeeID value with the component. So, from what I gather a stringlist or array needs to be used in tandem. Is that the case? And, if so - are there plans to improve this so that the table can be connected via the component? Or, is this in the area of a custom component that is left up to the user to develop. |

You're correct - current design for those components is that they can be bound to the dataset and then match the value in their item list to value in the bound column. However you cannot at this time use the table as a source - you'd basically have to populate the items list yourself (using a separate db query, looping thru it and adding items). See this thread for more info : http://www.elevatesoft.com/forums?action=view&category=ewb&id=ewb_general&page=1&msg=8209#8209 Tim's last comment there was that "the database* functionality will be getting a facelift soon, and one of the items on the list is lists that can bind to a dataset for their values, as opposed to just TStrings" So i believe your request to be one the list Raul |

This needs to be printed and framed! << So i believe your request to be one the list >> Great. Looking forward to it along with a few other features such as Drag 'n Drop and EWB Server scripting. Thank you. |

Trinione | I have released a custom component that connects with a DataSet.
