Methods Details

find()

Set the foundset in find mode. (Start a find request), use the "search" function to perform/exit the find.

Before going into find mode, all unsaved records will be saved in the database.
If this fails (due to validation failures or sql errors) or is not allowed (autosave off), the foundset will not go into find mode.
Make sure the operator and the data (value) are part of the string passed to dataprovider (included inside a pair of quotation marks).
Note: always make sure to check the result of the find() method.

When in find mode, columns can be assigned string expressions (including operators) that are evaluated as:
General:
      c1||c2    (condition1 or condition2)
      c|format  (apply format on condition like 'x|dd-MM-yyyy')
      !c        (not condition)
      #c        (modify condition, depends on column type)
      ^         (is null)
      ^=        (is null or empty)
      <x     (less than value x)
      >x     (greater than value x)
      <=x    (less than or equals value x)
      >=x    (greater than or equals value x)
      x...y     (between values x and y, including values)
      x         (equals value x)

 Number fields:
      =x       (equals value x)
      ^=       (is null or zero)

 Date fields:
      #c       (equals value x, entire day)
      now      (equals now, date and or time)
      //       (equals today)
      today    (equals today)

 Text fields:
      #c	        (case insensitive condition)
      = x      (equals a space and 'x')
      ^=       (is null or empty)
      %x%      (contains 'x')
      %x_y%    (contains 'x' followed by any char and 'y')
      \%      (contains char '%')
      \_      (contains char '_')

Related columns can be assigned, they will result in related searches.
For example, "employees_to_department.location_id = headoffice" finds all employees in the specified location).

Searching on related aggregates is supported.
For example, "orders_to_details.total_amount = '>1000'" finds all orders with total order details amount more than 1000.

Arrays can be used for searching a number of values, this will result in an 'IN' condition that will be used in the search.
The values are not restricted to strings but can be any type that matches the column type.
For example, "record.department_id = [1, 33, 99]"

Returns

Boolean true if the foundset is now in find mode, false otherwise.

loadRecords(foundset)

Loads a (related) foundset into the form.
The form will no longer share the default foundset with forms of the same datasource, use loadAllRecords to restore the default foundset.

This is different then doing foundset.loadRecords(foundset) because that just alters the current foundset and doesn't do anything with the foundset that is given.

So controller.loadRecords(fs) does overwrite the foundset instance completely, foundset filters set previously on the forms foundset are gone, only the foundset filters on the given foundset are set.

foundset.loadRecords(fs) will adjust the current forms foundset and the foundset filters that are set are kept and merged with the filters of the given foundset.

to load

Returns

Boolean true if successful

Supported Clients

This is different then doing foundset.loadRecords(foundset) because that just alters the current foundset and doesn't do anything with the foundset
that is given.

When the form uses a seperate foundset, foundset filter params are copied over from the source foundset and are merged with the existing filters.
