Hi,

Is it possible to set an input field to act like a search string as in a standard application, to search in a dBase data-base?

Search by:
*.*
?
*partoftext*
etc.

Thanks for any help

Ronnie Dackus

Ronnie,
You should be able to do it using a variation of this sqlStatement. Set your textbox equal to the variable TempInput. I'm not sure what the search chars are in dBase, but the concept should be the same.

Rset = myDB.ExecuteSQL("SELECT * FROM tblLesson1 WHERE PriText LIKE '%" + TempInput + "%'")

If you want more than 1 search option, use the FindText function to check for
your search characters and if/else statements to determine which option to run.

Hope this helps
Jason

Ronnie,
You might need to check the dBase documentation and see if % will work in
a select statement. The only other thing that comes to mind right now is if the field your working with isn't defined as a string object you won't need the single quotes.
If you want to post the full sql statement I'll take a peek at it and check for any obvious syntax.

Jason

Jason,

Here is my code.

Code:
var db = new Database("FILEDSN=lasselsbergerVT.dsn");
var records = null;

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// NOTE: Start_Record_Num is the record number for the first of the 5 records
//       and it is a Page Variable
//

function SearchDB()
{
   var sql = "SELECT * FROM Artikel WHERE Omschrijving LIKE '"%zoekserie%"' ORDER BY Code;";
   // Debug.trace(sql+"\n");
   records = db.ExecuteSQL(sql);
   
   ShowRecords()
}
function ShowRecords()
{
   if (records == null) {
      return;  // need to call Search First to get records
   }
   
   var num_records = records.GetNumberOfRecords();
   if (num_records > Start_Record_Num) {
      // Jump to record that will be the first to be shown
      records.GetRecordAt(Start_Record_Num);
   }
   // Get first five records
   for (num=1; num<=5; num++)
   {
      var text_box = FindChild("Text "+num); // Get Text box called Text 1, Text 2 ...
      text_box.SetSelection(0, -1); // Select all text in box
      if (num <= (num_records - Start_Record_Num + 1)) {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection(records.Code);
      } else {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection("");   // Clear the text box
      }
      
      text_box = FindChild("Formaat "+num);
      text_box.SetSelection(0, -1);
      if (num <= (num_records - Start_Record_Num + 1)) {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection(records.formaatlengte); // Set the text in the text box
      } else {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection("");
            }
      
      text_box = FindChild("Formaatl "+num);
      text_box.SetSelection(0, -1);
      if (num <= (num_records - Start_Record_Num + 1)) {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection(records.formaatbreedte); // Set the text in the text box
      } else {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection("");
      }
      
      text_box = FindChild("Kleur "+num);
      text_box.SetSelection(0, -1);
      if (num <= (num_records - Start_Record_Num + 1)) {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection(records.Kleur); // Set the text in the text box
      } else {
         text_box.ReplaceSelection("");
      }
records.NextRecord();
   }
}

function Next()
{
   var num_records = records.GetNumberOfRecords();
   if (Start_Record_Num + 5 < num_records) { // Check there are 5 more records
      Start_Record_Num += 5;
   }
   
   ShowRecords();
}

function Previous()
{
   Start_Record_Num -= 5;      // Go Back 5 Records
   if (Start_Record_Num < 1) {   // Check not gone too far
      Start_Record_Num = 1;
   }
   
   ShowRecords();
}




In this script textfields are filled with textdata, is it possible to display images with the script above, I know it is possible with regular variable settings>

Code:
<SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR>\artikelbestanden\tegels\<afbeeldingvt>.jpg

Ronnie,

Try it like this:

var sql = "SELECT * FROM Artikel WHERE Omschrijving LIKE '%" + zoekserie + "%' ORDER BY Code;";

The % needs to be within the double quotes and the string needs to be concated between the variable and the rest of the statement with +'s

Jason,

Thank you,

Could you please check my second questions. Personal I think that it can be changed with SetImage(), but I don't know how to set this!?


gr.

Ronnie

Ronnie,

You can set an image with a variable like this:
var Picture = "something.jpg"
var ImagePath = SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "\\Lesson1\\" + Picture
myImage.SetImage(ImagePath)
