Hello,
I want users to be able to enter multiline data in a predefined way.An example: a certain score is calculated and is given grades. The grades are subjective. I can call it Grade 1, 2, 3… some one else would call them Excellent, Good, Bad… The cut off can also be different. Each user should be able to define his calculation of grades, but the programming should be able to handle them all. The common feature of all definitions of Grades is that there is a name, and a range. The variability in addition to the actual name and range also includes the number of such grades (definitions).
I thought RecordControl was perfect except that it cannot be used as the control in a Field’s definition. Where should I start to be able to bring up RecordsControl when the focus is brought on an Editor Control, the data should be visible in Editor Control, but editable only from RecordControl.
A master detail table will be too much for a 5 x 3 or a max 10 x 3 data
Are there any other options?
Thanks in advance,
ajith
I am not sure if I understand what you want.
You might be able to use a BrowseObjectControl. It is similar to master-detail except that the detail is stored as an object in the master record (instead of as a separate table). However, it isn’t documented and doesn’t appear to be used anywhere, so I’m not sure.
