Filtering a BAQ Combo by a value on screen

I’m trying to use App Studio to customize a kinetic screen. I have a BAQ in a combo. The data populates ok. When I try to add a filter to the combo it still returns all the items. If I hardcode in the filter (UDCOdes_LongDesc = “IT”) it works and filters the dropdown. I want to filter the list by the Equipment ID on screen (Epi binding: MaintReqView.EquipID).

I’m not sure what I’m missing :frowning:

I did some tries on this and couldn’t get it to work either…

In the end I populated a dataview with th BAQ and filtered the view with an event. Would that work for you ?

Probably but I am very new at using App Studio and events… I used the wizard to create my new dataview and filter it by the field I need. It created a _Get event. I have no idea how to link the view to my combo. I tried filling in the fields in the properties but I’m guessing I have to add another step in the event after the _Get?

I think you need square brackets here… not curly.

Here is how I set up a dataview as a source for a combobox :

There is a “View name” property in the Reusable Combo section of the combobox that you can use to display the content of the dataview in the combobox.

Then you enter the Text Field and Value Field in the advanced section :

Thanks for your help. I don’t know what I’m missing :slight_smile: The box isn’t even showing my No Data Found - it doesn’t drop down at all.

Not dropping down ? Is your combobox readonly or disabled (in the state section) ?
Maybe try to create a second combobox under the first one to see if a newly created one behave te same way.
