[CLOSED] TriggerField with search criteria

[deejayns]

Let's say I have a trigger field:

<ext:TriggerField ID="headerSearchField" runat="server" Height="15" EnableKeyEvents="true"
            HideLabel="true" Selectable="true" Cls="smallTrigger" ClientIDMode="inherit"
            MinWidth="200" Width="200" EmptyText="" HideMode="Visibility">
            <Triggers>
                <ext:FieldTrigger Icon="Clear" />
            </Triggers>
            <Listeners>
                <KeyUp Fn="onSearch" Delay="1000" />
                <Focus Handler="onnode=false;" />
                <TriggerClick Handler="clearSearch(true);" />
            </Listeners>
        </ext:TriggerField>

I want to add a searching criteria as well.

Now I am searching based on the name, want to add search by id or some other searching types.

Any suggestion how to modify the trigger above in order to add that?


Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't really understand what you're asking for. The TriggerField is basically just an input Field. You can use the value for anything as per your requirements.

I was wondering if there is an example, or a suggestion, or a functionality, that can be utilized in a TriggerField to choose and submit another parameter (searching criteria) beside the searching text.

So for example user can choose what searching criteria will be.


User put the number in and chooses id as a criteria - then on the server search will be performed based on id.
User put the alphanumeric characters - then on the server search will be performed based on name.
....



To use a triggerfield as a multicriteria searchiing field.

Why not just check if user has entered a 'numeric' or 'alphanumeric' value and modify your search logic based on that boolean?
