DropFilter Sample program

[rdonnay]

Here is a sample program that demonstrates how to create a "drop filter" system for an array browse.

DropFilter is a technique for providing a dropdown of user selections for creating a complex filter for an array browse.

Compile and run this in a directory where there are a lot of files to see how it works.

Hi Roger
Good job

Roger,

Would it be possible to utilize the dropfilter example upon a database rather than an array as well?

Thanks,
Rick

Rick -

I looked at doing this with a database and decided against it.
It would likely be very slow.
Also, it was much more complicated.
This would likely work much better with SQL SELECT statements.
Are you using any SQL now?

Roger,

Have not moved to SQL yet, awaiting Steffen's one line solution...

I have been waiting for more than 3 years.

I think it's time to tell the kids that daddy was killed in the war.
