Format Strings for Columns in a Lookup
Posted: 03 Dec 06 12:39 PM
|
fiogf49gjkf0d I am having some junior programmer difficulty figuring out what to use as a Format String for a Column in one of my Lookups. In Architect I go to Tools -> Manage Lookups, find my Lookup and Edit it. Then I click Layout, which shows me all of the columns I am going to display. I double click on the column I care about, which is an Integer. I want to format the Integer to not display decimal places. When I tried putting %.0n in there Architect crashed with a "Format '%.0n' invalid or incompatible with argument" error.
Side Questoin - Searching Articles:
When searching from the Home Page on SLX Developer for Format String I found no Articles, then I searched on %. and "%." and found way too many. Does the search engine have esacpe characters I can use to search for %.?
Side Question - Searching Forums:
Is there a way to search all Forums at the same time or do you have to select each forum one at a time and do your search?
Thanks for any help,
Dag |

fiogf49gjkf0d Not sure I'll be much help with the issue of format strings in a lookup.
As far as the searching on the site goes, I am currently working on migrating the site to a new v2.0 and greatly improved site. One of the major enhancements is the ability to perform better searches. Bear with the site for now, new enhanced searching is around the corner (with the ability to include attachments to posts and the searching will even include the contents of attached files)
