Is there any way when I click on the magnifying glass in a table can do a search for any string in the column? Alternatively, another way of doing the same search.
Thanks

Yes...I wanted a "search" field outside of my table to use as a record "locator"...basically working the same as clicking on the hourglass in the LastName column in my table and then entering a search name...but I got tired of hitting the hourglass then entering the name, etc.
I used a standard edit control, added a "Clear/All" button to negate the search and a "Search" button (which I later hid/skipped.)
On my search entry field (EDT_SearchField) I changed the GUI, Right Click to "press" the Search button. This allowed me to enter any search characters I wanted in the EDT_SearchField and press the right mouse button to execute the search without having to move and select the "Search" button..
After experimenting I then added this code to the "Whenever modifying EDT_SearchName:
[code:wl]
Whenever modifying EDT_SearchName
// on "change" input right mouse key
SetFocus(WIN_Table_dbName.COL_LastName)
SendKey("{RIGHTBTN}",WIN_Table_dbName.EDT_SearchName)
In my example I have a window with a table displayed with a column named "COL_LastName." I search the COL_LastName for any matching LastNames that begin with the character/character sequence I entry into the "EDT_SearchName.,"
Each time I enter a key in the EDT_SearchName, the COL_LastName is incrementally searched. If I enter the letter "e", the first LastName beginning with "e" is brought to the top of the table.
If I continue and hit the "t" key, the COL_LastName is then incremented to show the first LastName beginning with "et," etc.
The search is not case sensitive..."e" is the same as "E"..."t" is the same as "T."
