Adding XML Tags to fulltext on search dlg

Ben_inform

I want to write a string (with XML in it) to the full text controll of the search dialog from an NRS script.
The reason is that verity allows us to search within sub-containers of the WorkSite comments field using an XML syntax.
So far I have 2 issues:-


1) When I use the onChange event for the searchDlg it doesn't give me the ID of the control - it always seems to be 0 so I can't filter events.

2) I want to be able to send a string to the full text box such as "<name>Johnny Wilkinson</name>"
I have tried using the

dlg.SetAttributeValueByID

method to set this but it seems to have a problem with XML tags.
if i use a XML-less tag it works. I tried escaping the tags using

dlg.SetAttributeValueByID nrFullText, "this " + Chr(60) + "A" + Chr(62) + " is ok", True

but no joy.

Is what i am doing possible ? Is there a way to escape the XML to get the string into the FUll text box?

I could hack around it by using the win32 findwindow API but that is dirty and a last resort.
Cheers,

Ben.

Hi Ben,

The two issues you mentioned in your e-mail have been fixed in the source code. They should be available in the coming release of the 8.0x.

Thanks,
