Is there any way to do this in editable browser

[philippoommen1]

Hi,
Progress ver 10.2B GUI

We have three columns in a browser. They are ID, Type and Value. ID and Value are editable. If the user enter any ID value say A,B Or C then type can be decimal, Date , Integer , Percentage Or a characher for each type.
How can I have a value field in the browser where user can enter decimal , date , percentage or integer value depends on the type.

The only data type which can hold all other data types is a character. You can change the format of a cell in the row-display trigger, but you cannot change the format. You may be able to add all sorts of value-changed mumbo jumbo making the character cell behave like the specified data type.

This may be easier with a .Net control.

We went for simple in a similar situation and simply added a column per data type, enabling only the cell that that applies for the current row.
