Search Help + Read only field

[ged_hurst]

Hi there,

I need to lay out an input field with a search help but I want to make sure that all the entries entered in the input field are exactly those allowed by the search help.

I therefore assigned the property enabled to false and readonly to false as well but in this case the search help is not active (cannot be called) because the field is treated like a simple textview with no input help.

How can this be achieved?

Thanks

Hi,

Create one more input field and bind with same attribute which u already created.

set its width to 1 pix. and place after first input, it looks like one input( with search help ).

use matrix layout. it solves your problem.

Cheers,

Kris.

Hi,

maintain properties of input fied as enabled and read only as enabled..

Check it out the binding for input field..

Whether the binded field has search help or not?

Why don't you just use a dropdown list instead? It would prevent the user from typing in any values outside those in the list.

This is not possible (Disbale input field with SH is not possible).....Either validate the input field by enabling it.....
