QUERYEDITABLE attribute
The QUERYEDITABLE attribute makes a COMBOBOX field
editable during a CONSTRUCT statement.
Syntax
QUERYEDITABLEUsage
The QUERYEDITABLE attribute is effective only during a CONSTRUCT
statement. This attribute is useful when the display values match the real values in the
ITEMS attribute, for example when ITEMS=("Paris","London","Madrid").
Important:
It is not recommended to use the
QUERYEDITABLE attribute, when the real field
values are mapped to key/label values in the ITEMS attribute. For example with
ITEMS=((1,"Paris"),(2,"London"),(3,"Madrid")). When using this combination, the
behavior is undefined.During a CONSTRUCT, a COMBOBOX is not editable by default. The
end-user is forced to set one of the values of the list as defined by the ITEMS
attribute, or set the 'empty' item.
The QUERYEDITABLE attribute can be used to force the COMBOBOX to
be editable during a CONSTRUCT instruction, in order to allow free search criterion
input such as "A*".
