Topic: Wildcard Search

Is it possible if I have a text box that the user enters information into, I want the user to be able to include wildcards. like % for multiple characters and _ for a single character.

So if the user enters %apple% in the description field, once he searches he would see data where the description field contained the string apple anywhere in the description.

Of if they enter A_3% and did a search it would get descriptions that start with A then some character then a 3 and then any number of characters.

I am just not adept at MVD yet to know how to do this, but I'm working on all the things I need my app to be able to do, so that I will actually know how to do things.

Thanks
Alan

Re: Wildcard Search

You can use the FILTER property of the Search field in the Object Inspector.
