Is there a display box that can take both column name and numeric value ? I'm trying to create a window where users can either select a column from column list (like a col list box) or insert a constant value (like a number edit box).
I guess I'm gonna pass on that for now then. Thanks Jim.
Why not provide two choices: a list box populated with column names and a number edit box to accept a number instead? Then define a function or provide an expression to process the one with which the user interacts.
I thought about this idea as well. But I'm expecting a combination of inputs (i.e. both columns & single values). Could you explain more / give examples of the expression function you mentioned ?
The way I handle this use-case is to use a ComboBox showing a a pre-defined list of values from which the user can select a value, and the last value of the list is always "other...". Attach an event handler to the combo box that reacts to a selection; if the user selects "other..." then I present a modal window with a TextEditBox (or NumberEditBox) where the user can specify a new value. Afterwards append the new value to the list used to populate the ComboBox.
All, thanks for the input and sorry for the late response. I think I manage to find a way around it by adding a radio box for each display box row (e.g. defaulting to input column) which will turn either a col list box or number edit box visible/invisible based on user preference. I haven't tried to write such script but perhaps I'll share it here once I have.
