Posted on by Community Member

Hello guys,

I am a bit confused with an easy task. I have a  Combobox and I need to fill it with a field values from a certain table. I suppose I should use lookups, but what would really be the best way to do it? Thanks.

    How is it done? should I create EDT? The combobox value 'extexted data type' is disabled, I can't change it :/

    Combobox's Extented Data Types use only "Enum Typed EDT"

    If you need a lookup certain table's field. You may use generic method.

    1. Create an Table name is SampleTable
    2. Create an EDT name is SampleField.
    3. Add a table reference to EDT which is SampleTable
    4. Set EDT's reference table as SampleTable
    5. Add a field to SampleTable which is SampleField with SampleField EDT.
    6. Create a form
    7. Add SampleTable to form as a datasource.
    8. Drag SampleTable's SampleField to Design
    9. Create some records on the table
    10. Open the form and use SampleField as combobox lookup.
