Lookup PreFilter Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,

I want to use Prefilter for an existing Address-Lookup in an own Custom Smartpart. The smartpart is on an own entity. The entity has a field "Contactid". I created a child relation (1:M) named ContactAddresses from that field to the entityid field of the address entity.

Control definition:


<div class="textcontrol lookup">
	<SalesLogix:LookupControl runat="server" ID="lueSLXAddress" ButtonToolTip="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.ButtonToolTip %>"
		LookupEntityName="ContactAddresses" LookupEntityTypeName="Sage.SalesLogix.Entities.Address, Sage.SalesLogix.Entities"
		EnableHyperLinking="true" InitializeLookup="true">
		<LookupProperties>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.Address1.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="Address1" PropertyType="System.String" PropertyFormat="None" UseAsResult="True"
				ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.City.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="City" PropertyType="System.String" PropertyFormat="None" UseAsResult="True"
				ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.Country.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="Country" PropertyType="System.String" PropertyFormat="None" UseAsResult="True"
				ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.Description.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="Description" PropertyType="System.String" PropertyFormat="None"
				UseAsResult="True" ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.IsMailing.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="IsMailing" PropertyType="System.Boolean" PropertyFormat="None"
				UseAsResult="True" ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.IsPrimary.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="IsPrimary" PropertyType="System.Boolean" PropertyFormat="None"
				UseAsResult="True" ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
			<SalesLogix:LookupProperty PropertyHeader="<%$ resources: lueSLXAddress.LookupProperties.PostalCode.PropertyHeader %>"
				PropertyName="PostalCode" PropertyType="System.String" PropertyFormat="None"
				UseAsResult="True" ExcludeFromFilters="False">
			</SalesLogix:LookupProperty>
		</LookupProperties>
		<LookupPreFilters>
		</LookupPreFilters>
	</SalesLogix:LookupControl>
</div>

Filter:

lueSLXAddress.LookupPreFilters.Clear();
Sage.SalesLogix.HighLevelTypes.LookupPreFilter filter = new Sage.SalesLogix.HighLevelTypes.LookupPreFilter();
filter.LookupEntityName = "Address";
filter.PropertyName = "ContactAddresses.EntityID";
filter.CondOperator = "Equal to";
filter.PropertyType = "String";
filter.FilterValue = objCon.Id.ToString();
lueSLXAddress.LookupPreFilters.Add(filter);

Problem is that I never get a prefiltering. Either I see all addresses or non.

Can somebody help me to find out what I'am doing wrong?

Thanks

Joern

Your prefilter is for an entity that is joined to your "form" entity, not the entity used in the lookup. You need to reference the entity in the lookup to filter it.

So you would need something like:

lueSLXAddress.LookupPreFilters.Clear();
Sage.SalesLogix.HighLevelTypes.LookupPreFilter filter = new Sage.SalesLogix.HighLevelTypes.LookupPreFilter();
filter.LookupEntityName = "Address";
filter.PropertyName = "EntityId";
filter.CondOperator = "Equal to";
filter.PropertyType = "String";
filter.FilterValue = objCon.Id.ToString();
lueSLXAddress.LookupPreFilters.Add(filter);

Remember this is all case sensitive so make sure "EntityId" is the correct property name for it in App Architect.

Thanks,
Nick
