Placing a SmartSelect Instance

To use a SmartSelect as a field in a SmartDataViewer, follow these steps:

  1. Choose File Open and select the SmartDataViewer master you intend to modify. Click OK. The master opens in a workspace window, as illustrated here:
  2. Create, if necessary, and place the SmartDataObject that will supply values to the SmartSelect.
  3. Right-click on the SmartDataField tool icon in the Object Palette:
  4. Choose SmartSelect from the menu that opens.

  5. Position your mouse cursor over the field you are replacing, and click to make the replacement. The SmartSelect representation appears in place of the original Fill–in:
  6. An Advisor should now appear and offer to add the Data link from the SmartDataObject to the SmartSelect. Agree to the offer.
  7. If no Advisor appears, open the SmartLink editor and add it yourself.
  8. Click on the SmartSelect’s menu button and choose Instance Properties from the menu. Configure the instance. See the "Configuring a SmartSelect Instance" section in this chapter for information.
