Lookup definition allows you to define what component and/or fields will be used in you Lookup, what filters will be used, and more.
- Lookup Type
Lookup Type has a dropdown select list with these options: Grid Component, Auto-Suggest List, and Edit-Combo List. The Auto-Suggest list option creates Lookups that function much like a Google search toolbar.
The Grid must be updateable before you can add a Lookup to a control. You can set a field to be updateable from the grid Fields page by clicking the (editable?) checkbox above the Selected: fields list.
