Hi,

I was wondering if any of you who have been using llblgen for a while now have developed a winform GUI to enable users of your applications to intuitively filter the list based on the fields in the TypedView/Typedlist.

Do you mean you are looking for something generic that can be passed any TypedView/list and can then be used to filter/search it ?

If you can be more specific with the issue you are trying to solve we may be in a better position to help simple_smile

Hi Matt,

Yes i am looking for a generic windows control/winform. Which can be easily set up to work with any given TypedList/TypedView and once set up displays the fields of the List/View enabling the system user to select a field choose a criteria. this can be done for one or more fields. Internally the control then creates Predicates which are then used to filter the List/View.

Hope my explaination makes things a bit clearer.

I don't know if anybody on here as created anything - you may get some replies. Your best bet will be to investigate one of the numerous Winforms Grid Controls - Janus and Infragistics are 2 that spring to mind.

These will both allow you to supply a data source (typed view/list) that they have no prior knowledge of at run time, automatically create columns, and allow users to sort/search and filter those columns, all with very little design effort.

Janus is much easier to use, BTW simple_smile
