Change a search expression field in the seach bar of a CRDBGrid by program

[Fredkoe]

I'm using the CRDBGrid in a DELPHI 7-program and it works fine, when I fill a search expression field in the seach bar by keyboard input.
My problem is now: How can I fill a search expression field by program (e.g. from a procedure)?

The TCRDBGrid component doesn't support such functionality.

Hi

As written on 2007, TCRDBGrid does not support to access search fields by programming. Is this still the case (2012)? Actually I am interested in filtters, not search...

The thing is that the filtters do not have options for drop down, but I could add a standard drop-down element next to the grid, which would then add the selected value to the filtter.

Kind regards,
Kalle

The TCRDBGrid component is no longer being developed. Its source code is supplied with SDAC, so you can change it any way you want.
