[Datasets] Lookup fields don't look up. :-)

  • Okay, another minor issue. I want to create a simple report and in this report the user can add a field from some table that is added to the system. This field happens to be a lookup field. Which means it is a persistant field with properties LookUpDataset, KeyFields, LookUpKeyFields and LookUpResultField set up to link to a second table. I had hoped that the form would recognise this field as a lookup field and thus offer the proper layout immediately. Or at least show the lookup data when I change the edit control into a dropdown control.

    Unfortunately it doesn't recognise the field as a lookup field so I don't get a nice list of values. This means I need to add more code to just get it to work, or perhaps modify the source.

    Hi,

    WPForm is a non-DB sensitive component. The only thing which deals a bit with DB is the data provider - but in general the customers wanted more something which can be controlled completely in code.
