Search Like Sales order

[SBarnes]

How can you make the search screen work like it does for sales orders where double clicking on the item puts it into a list at the bottom of the search screen?

To enable multiselect you have to set clsSearch object's UsePinBoard property to true . Please see example code segment below.

Code: Select all


    Public Sub Setup(ByVal Plugin As JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin) Implements JiwaApplication.IJiwaApplicationManagerPlugin.Setup
      AddHandler Plugin.Manager.Search.Showing, AddressOf Search_Showing
    End Sub
      
   Private Sub Search_Showing(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
      Dim searchObject As JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.clsSearch = DirectCast(sender, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.clsSearch)
      searchObject.UsePinBoard = True   'Enable multiselect pin board
   End Sub

Thanks Nishantha

To continue this on and this may require Mike's or Scott's input just as there are now buttons to pin and unpin a given row how hard would it be to add buttons that did pin all and unpin all when the search screen is shown?

I've been able to get this to work myself.

Just revisiting this so I can get the pinboard working when selecting items on a warehouse transfer.

I have the

Code: Select all

searchObject.UsePinBoard = True

but when I click the green Select & Close button, it only grabs the first item in the list.
What's the trick to get all selected items?

[nsbandara]

You can iterate through search result collection to get all selected records.

Code: Select all

int searchResultCount = search.Results.Count;
for (int i = 1; i <= searchResultCount; i = checked(i + 1))
{
   var resultField = Conversions.ToString(search.Results[i].Fields[1].FieldValue);
}

Sure I can iterate through the results, but how do I return all results back to the warehouse transfer grid?

[SBarnes]

In a warehouse transfer its in single search mode i.e. no pin board you would have override the button click code on the grid in a set up before handler and take over from Jiwa if that is what you are referring to??

But

Code: Select all

searchObject.UsePinBoard = True

adds in the pinboard.
It works pretty good by dropping selected partnos to the lower pane, but when the green 'select & close' is clicked, only the top/first item is returned to the grid.

[SBarnes]

Yes but the Jiwa code that deals with the search screen when it comes down, which is in the grid button click, is only designed to deal with one record not multiples.

This is why you need to get in before Jiwa's event do your own processing to bring up the search screen, process the sections when it comes down into transfer lines and then client cancel exception to stop the Jiwa event from firing.
