See method CXTPReportRecordItemEditOptions::AddConstraint(LPCTSTR lpszConstraint, DWORD_PTR dwData)
You can use lpszConstraint - as a part title and dwData as a part number.

Just format part title in some nice way (preserve for part number 10 chars for example).

If your part number is a string - you can use OnConstraintChanged to parse title and save part.

i want to create something like i've been using in MS Access (former times):

There is a report control item named "Artikel", which should contain a legal articlenumber (e.g. 3141203).

The dropdownlist contains two cols :

1. the available articlenumbers

2. the articletext

When i select an item out of the dopdownlist (e.g. "3141203 Formteile 1203"), the articlenumber "3141203" is the value that has to occurs in the report control item.

In MS Access it's pretty easy : just create a dropdownlist that contains the two fields and tell Access that it should use column 1 (the number) as the result out of a dropdown selection.

This is a pretty user friendly form of selecting a sensfull number ...

... but i have no idea how to do that in a report control !

The values added by AddConstraint(...) are not formatable to show two cols. And the return value of the selection process is number + text.

Anyone with any idea how to realize this nice feature ?

Thank's for any hints !

Rolf
