eSearch widget - Replace text input

DavidCaussin — Fri, 27 May 2011 05:59:02 GMT

Hi,

Is there someone that already have replace the input text with another system.

Now the agent must type the whole parcel ID (ex: 21802B0429/00M002).
This ID can be cut in differents parts.

I would like to have 1 combobox for "21802" and 5 others input box. And when the agent click on the search button get a concatenate of the inputs.

Someone can give me the first steps for that??? Or do you think it is difficult?

Thanks in advance

David

David,

This can be done of course but will not be all that easy for a non-developer. It doesn't sound like it would be very user friendly either. The issue is that there is logic coded into the eSearch that will automatically switch the text input box to a combobox if a domain or userlist is specified, so you would have to avoid breaking that code. If you look at the mxml code for the searchWidget you can find the textInput group that is where you would begin adding your extra text input boxes. Best of luck
