Filter Edit Box

Some forms use a Filter edit box that allows users to filter a long list.  The filters can be used as follows:

• If the Filter edit box is blank, no filter is applied and all items in the long list will display.

• If the text in the Filter edit box is included anywhere in the name of an item(s) in the long list, the item(s) will be included in the filtered list, with the following exceptions:

• • If the text in the Filter edit box starts with "<" (without the parenthesis), the program checks if the text matches the start of the item.

  • If the text in the Filter edit box ends with ">" (without the parenthesis), the program checks if the text matches the end of the item.

EXAMPLE:

Assume the original list includes the following items:

W24X55

W8X24

W12X40

24x32Column

• If the Filter edit box is blank, the filtered list includes all of the items:

W24X55

W8X24

W12X40

24x32Column

• If the Filter edit box contains 24, the filtered list includes the following items:

W24X55

W8X24

24x32Column

• If the Filter edit box contains <24, the filtered list includes the following item:

24x32Column

• If the Filter edit box contains 24>, the filtered list includes the following item:

W8X24
