Having not seen the "beta" sessions, it sounds as if you picked an item you were focused on to present from a developing product.  In the new sessions, perhaps you could select some of the newer features or commands (or provide a list to select from and pick the most popular) and demonstrate/ explore the use.  These could be less used (more obscure), subtley powerful, better choices, "what it can do" or "how it is done" or "how to better implement" based on what you see from the questions, submissions, etc. or your own experiences, discoveries or interests.  Hard to imagine we wouldn't be interested in something you are.

Sesame 2 introduced a LOT of new features and programming commands. I like to give people the opportunity to ask for things that are of interest to them at the moment. I'll cover anything that is wanted, including very basic stuff that has been around since 1.0.

In the absence of requests, I will usually pick a general use feature from runtime and a designer feature or programming technique. As I will now do.  Smiley

This week's demo will show:
Simple Search (Runtime)
Advanced Element Selector (Designer)

Thanks for educating us on Simple Search and Advanced Element Selector. I was thinking whether it is possible to place a text box element which is only visible on Search Mode to execute simple search. Or even better having a simple search box on the menubar which can be used on active (one which has the focus) search form. Such feature will be useful for the new users with limited exposure to Sesame. Well, @SelectTreeItem() code on the command button will open that box or even On Retrieve Spec Open event code will do the same. Just trying to think of some creative way to incorporating this in the application.  Any more thoughts in this line...

You can place this into a command button on the form:
Code
Select All
var Success as int

Success = @SelectTreeItem("Search Menu!Search Commands!Simple Search") 



On Retrieve Spec Open:
Code
Select All
Visibility(SimpleSearchButton, 1) 



On Form Entry:
Code
Select All
Visibility(SimpleSearchButton, 0) 




That will provide a command button that only shows while in Search mode. But, you won't need to do any of that soon. As you probably already saw in the demo, there will be a built-in button for Simple Search in the near future.
