Displaying Memo Fields in Data Grids

fiogf49gjkf0d Is there an easy way to display a Memo field as a string in a Grid? I know that you can set the field type to memo in the Data Grid, but the display of the field is not very user friendly. You would have to click the field to see the contents. We just want to view the contents of the memo field in the grid without having to click on it. |

fiogf49gjkf0d The default display type of a Memo column is "icon". If you go into the Memo column's properties you can change it to text, then the memo's text contents will display in the grid. |

fiogf49gjkf0d You can also do what SalesLogix does w/Notes/History... put a memo field in the form and then using "on change" display the contents of that memofield fo rthat selected record.
Not "in-line" but close..

fiogf49gjkf0d You can't do it like that - you need to write some code surrounding the OnClick - that grabs the column e.g. select longnotes from history where historyid = 'x' - and then take the result and populate the memo. Or, you could lift it off the grid in a similar fashion. |
