B4J Question B4XTable with custom search

[Chris Guanzon]

hello! how can I use the search using a text field and not using the default search box of B4XTable?

 

[Erel]

You can hide SearchField.mBase and still set its text with SearchField.Text.

Thank you very much! ?

Thank you very much! ?

sorry to bring this up but I have tried the mbase and it failed but B4XTable1.SearchVisible = False hid the search field
Erel said you can set its text with SearchField.Text.
My question is - did you get it to work and if so how?

 

[Chris Guanzon]

SearchField.Text = textfield.text

 

[Pelky]

firstly I would like to thank you so much for coming back to me so quickly. It is very much appreciated.

However I am still confused.

is the searchfield.text defined somewhere? If i try and just enter ' searchfield.text = edtCompany.text' there is an error.

I cant find a 'Type' being searchfield for a dim statement or otherwise link it to the B4XTable

I really am sorry to trouoble you with this - maybe I am just being stupid - but I am lost with that

Hi...

if you want a more different (complicated but with different options at search) way you can check here...

I am actually looking for something simple - complexity is not what I like - simple is for me.

I have tried various combinations of
B4XTable1.mBase.Enabled = True
' B4XTable1.mBase.Text = False
' B4XTable1.SearchField.mBase.Text = False
B4XTable1.SearchField.Text = edtCompany.Text
B4XTable1.mBase.SearchField.Text = edtCompany.Text

as I thought that maybe where i have to look but cant find the right combination.

are you searching... that?

b4xtable1.SearchField.TextField.Text="the string you are searching for"

b4xtable1.SearchField.TextField.Text="the string you are searching for"

b4xtable1.SearchField.TextField.Text="the string you are searching for

I like your answer, but I think you can get by with:

B4xtable1.SearchField.Text="the string you are searching for"

@Mahares... at a moment i thought you troll me: heh...

b4xtable1 --> B4xtable1

Both work textfield.text ... .text /// apples & oranges ?
