Searching via Card Window

[Dimitrios Fkiaras]

Hello,

I have  VIRTUAL LIST ----x---- PERSONELL tables connected with cartesian join. 

On a layout based on the PERSONELL table, there is a "filters" button that fires a script, which gathers data from some tables and presents them in a list (VIRTUAL LIST TABLE) . User clicks on a record (search criterion) , fake checkbox is updated and the search in PERSONELL TO occurs.

The problem is that if I don't first close the card window and only then perform the search, the found set in the parent window remains unaltered. 

Is there a workaround to this? Closing the "filters" card window, performing search and opening again is not very nice to watch.

Thanks for all the support!

If you want the filtering window to stay ontop, you can always use a floating window.  As for wanting to click something in the filtering window and then that filtering the records in your main window, you should be able to script that rather easily.
