Jiwa

Hi,
I can't seem to find how to format a custom search decimal column using the Jiwa 'Decimal places'. I have read it as the last field in the custom search :
"IN_Main.DecimalPlaces " & _
"FROM IN_Main LEFT JOIN

So I am using vbInteger temporarily as I don't want any decimals in this case.

Code I am using in the plugin is
.AddColumn("PartNo", vbString, "", 15, 2)
.AddColumn("Description", vbString, "", 30, 3)
.AddColumn("Avail.SOH.", vbInteger, "###.;\ ;\ ", 8, 4)
.AddColumn("Tot.SOH.", vbInteger, "###.;\ ;\ ",9, 5)
.AddColumn("Price", vbDecimal, "", 7, 6)

Basic query I know but I have tried most combinations with no success. Thanks
Doug

The .AddColumn function accepts a parameter (among others) called "DecimalPlacesType". This has 2 possible values:

JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.Column.DecimalPlacesTypes.AnotherColumn
JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.Column.DecimalPlacesTypes.HardCoded

It sounds like you want the JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.Column.DecimalPlacesTypes.AnotherColumn option. Now, when you pass this value, you also need to supply a value for another parameter - "DecimalPlacesColumnIndex". As the name implies, here is where you define the column number that contains the value that should be used for the number of decimal places.

So, assuming that your field for decimal places is column 7, you would change your calls to .AddColumn thus:

.AddColumn("Avail.SOH.", vbDecimal, " ", 8, 4, , , JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.Column.DecimalPlacesTypes.AnotherColumn, , ,7)
.AddColumn("Tot.SOH.", vbDecimal, " ",9, 5, , , JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.Column.DecimalPlacesTypes.AnotherColumn, , ,7)

Thanks Scott

Hi Scott,

Do you have a sample plugin to create a custom search or query for the inventory search screen.
