As with the Detail or Search Part, the Quick Search needs to be told where to search for data. The Field(s) to search property is where you specify which fields in your grid you want the Quick Search to conduct a search. Clicking the button to the right of the Field(s) to search property will open the Select Field(s) to Search dialog. This dialog gives you the option of to Search a single field or to Search multiple fields .

The S directive makes an embedded dialog scrollable.

The S directive makes the text in a Text Box into a spin control.

The S directive displays the text in a static, non-scrollable window.

The formatting string %S=BLR% is used to specify that a tree control should be displayed with the familiar boxes and lines.

Enter the width using CSS syntax. If you enter a single value, all columns use that value. If you enter a comma delimited list of widths, the values you enter are applied to the corresponding column.

One or more fields that define the primary key for the table.

The Clear Fields action clears the contents of specified fields on a form or browse.

The Hide Object(s) action hides objects on a window. When the action is performed, the selected objects are removed from sight. This action is contextually useful in order to remove unnecessary objects (as dictated through user interaction) from sight. You can see this action in use throughout Alpha Anywhere, including the Script Genie, as Alpha will often hide entry fields depending on the choices you made previously.

The Disable Object(s) action renders objects unable to receive focus. A user cannot switch focus to a disabled object. This action, when used with the Enable Object(s) action, is useful when either user interaction is required for accessing objects, or user interaction indicates that specific objects are unimportant/important for the task at hand. In either case, use the Disable Object action to restrict objects from receiving focus, and use Enable Object to allow focus.
