ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hello,

Just starting out with ASPRunner 6.2 and I cannot find a way to amend an inherited dropdown box. The box values order has 'contains' as default. I want to change the default to 'equals'.
I have looked everywhere within the project, but failed. Shame on me.
PLease can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you need to edit generated \classes\searchcontrol.asp file.

Find the following code:

if (((IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_TEXT_FIELD) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_TEXT_AREA)) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_PASSWORD)) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_HIDDEN)) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_READONLY) then

options = CSmartStr(options) & (((("<OPTION VALUE=""Contains"" " & CSmartStr(IIF(IsEqual(selOpt,"Contains") and not bValue(var_not),"selected",""))) & ">") & CSmartStr(mlang_message("CONTAINS"))) & "</option>")

options = CSmartStr(options) & (((("<OPTION VALUE=""Equals"" " & CSmartStr(IIF(IsEqual(selOpt,"Equals") and not bValue(var_not),"selected",""))) & ">") & CSmartStr(mlang_message("EQUALS"))) & "</option>")



and replace it with:

if (((IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_TEXT_FIELD) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_TEXT_AREA)) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_PASSWORD)) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_HIDDEN)) or IsEqual(fType,EDIT_FORMAT_READONLY) then

options = CSmartStr(options) & (((("<OPTION VALUE=""Equals"" " & CSmartStr(IIF(IsEqual(selOpt,"Equals") and not bValue(var_not),"selected",""))) & ">") & CSmartStr(mlang_message("EQUALS"))) & "</option>")

options = CSmartStr(options) & (((("<OPTION VALUE=""Contains"" " & CSmartStr(IIF(IsEqual(selOpt,"Contains") and not bValue(var_not),"selected",""))) & ">") & CSmartStr(mlang_message("CONTAINS"))) & "</option>")

Thanks Ann for the response.
I take it this is done by editing one of the output files (as mentioned) rather than in the ASPRunnerPro app itself?
Thanks again,

Hi,
unfortunately no.
