Lookup Settings Display for the field.

Lookup Methods

You will have available two types of lookup methods: Manual (informing manually the conditions of the select) or Automatic (using a database query).

Selecting the lookup type.

Lookup Method - Automatic

Lookup used to list the values that will be displayed on the Checkbox field. These values will be recovered dynamically using the Select command.

Automatic Lookup Interface.
- SQL Select Statement : Define the SQL command that will recover the values that will be displayed on the form field. The command needs to have the following structure:
```
 SELECT key_field , display_field FROM table
```
  The value of the key_field will be stored in the table field.
- Multiple Values : When enabled, allows to select more than one item from the list, separated by a delimitation.
  - Delimiter : Defines the character used to separate the values selected in the form. Only inform a value to this field if you need to separate the selected options with a different delimiter then (;).
- Height : Defines the height for the select object.
- Use title : Allows to display a line of a title on the select object (Title Attribute) associated to a value informed manually (Title internal value).
  - Title internal value : Value Saved to the field when the line of the title is selected in the object.
  - Title : Text displayed on the title of the Select object.
- Reload form when value has changed : With this option selected, the form will refresh if there is a change to the selected object in the field.
- Display original and lookup value : Displays the value of the field and the value returned from the lookup.
  - Separated by : Defines which character will be used to separate the values of the field with the value returned from the lookup. It is only necessary to inform this value of the option Display original and lookup value is enabled.
- Choose connection : Allows you to select another specific connection existing in the project. The select command will be done on the second connection.
- Link : Allows to create a link to another form allowing to manipulate the list displayed on the select field. After the manipulation, the select object it updated automatically.

Lookup Method - Manual

This method is used so that the developer can create manually the list of values that will be saved to the generated application. This method is mostly used when the database does not have a table that contains this information.

Manual Lookup Interface.

Lookup Type : Define the functionality of the lookup, being: Single Value, Multiple Values (delimiter), Multiple Values (position) and Multiple Values (binary).

Single Value :

Setting up Single Value Lookup
- Label : Text that will be displayed in the item list of the select field.
- Value : Attribute that corresponds to the value that is stored in the table field. For example, the value M will be included into the table when the user will view in the list Man.
- Default : With this option enabled, the selected item will be inserted to the table when committed.
- Height : Defines the height for the select object.
Multiple Values (delimiter)

You can store various values for the select field. The values are separated by the informed delimiter. For example: the combination Sport, Cinema and Tourism selected in form will be stored like E;C;T in case the delimiter is ; (semi coma).

Setting up Multiple Values (delimiter)
- Label : Text that will be displayed in the item list of the select field.
- Value : Attribute that corresponds to the value that is stored in the table field. For example, the value M will be included into the table when the user will view in the list Man.
- Delimiter Characters used to separate Multiple Values in the table field. If not informed, the default delimiter is a semi coma (;).
- Height : Defines the height for the select object.

Multiple Values (position)

Allows to store a diversity of information selected on the field in only one string. For this information to be added, you need to inform the label, initial position and the number of bytes that each information occupies on a string.

For this example, Gender, Marital status and Hobby were used. Gender uses one byte as does the Martial Status, the Hobby will use two bytes.

The example below:

Label	Value	Start	Size
Man	M	1	1
Women	W	1	1
Divorced	D	2	1
Single	S	2	1
Study	SD	3	2
Sports	SP	3	2
Read	RD	3	2

Example: Of you choose Man, Single and Read, in the database would be stored the following value MSRD.

Manual Lookup Interface Setting up Multiple Values (position)

Label : Text that will be displayed in the item list of the select field.
Value : Attribute that corresponds to the value that is stored in the table field. For example, the value M will be included into the table when the user will view in the list Man.
Negative : Value to be saved in the table in case there is not any valued selected on the field.
Start : Starting position of the string that is going to be stored. The first position is always 1.
Size : Amount of bytes that is going to occupy in the string.
Height : Defines the height for the select object.

Multiple Values (binary)

Allows to store a diversity of information selected on the field in only one value.

In this example uses the following list (although it is not informed when inserting values to the list, each item has a value applied automatically according to the order):

Attribute Value	Lookup Description
1	Sports
2	Culture
4	Pleasure
8	Reading
16	Music

To store the data, it is done an internal sum of the decimal number. See the examples below.

Example 1: If the options Sports and Culture were selected, the number stored in the table would be 3.

Attribute Value	Lookup Description
1	Sports
2	Culture
4	Pleasure
8	Reading
16	Music

1 (Sports) + 2 (Culture) = 3

Example 2: If the options Sports, Pleasure and Reading were selected, the number stored in the table would be 13.

Attribute Value	Lookup Description
1	Sports
2	Culture
4	Pleasure
8	Reading
16	Music

1 (Sports) + 4 (Pleasure) + 8 (Reading) = 13

This lookup is used to list all the values in the selected field.

This lookup will apply a “distinct” to your SQL query.

Ajax Processing
