Select and Export features. eSearch?

[JosephAccardi]

I'm looking to add a simple tool to my FV3.0 app that will allow a user to select features of a layer and export them out to a tabular database (i.e. Excel). I'm looking for a cross between the basic search tool which allows you to select layers graphically and Robert's eSearch that allows you to export the selected features. I started working with the eSearch widget and I can't figure out how to strip it down so the user can only graphically search layers and export out the results. Any ideas?

Thanks

Joseph,

  Have you not seem the disablebuttons element in the Enhanced Search Widget XML Configuration.pdf documentation?

Thank you Robert. I must have missed that part of the documentation. I only have one layer that I need to be searched graphically and exported out, so I deleted all but one of the layer samples included in your code. However, when I delete the expression and tables sections of the code the widget fails to start. Can I delete sections of the sample code that isn't relevant to my usage or should I just eliminate the values in each text string?

Thanks for your help on this.

Joe

Joe,

   If you leave something like this in the SearchWidget.xml then it works fine:
