I am developing a Windows forms application migrated from the main Lotus Notes database application. As an example of the Jobs table, there is the Details table and the many-many relationship table Job_Parts with the identifiers JobID and PartID.
When adding a new task entry, I need an input method that the user can select from the list of parts, and I imagine that this is a list of checkboxes and allows the user to quickly check the details in the task. I did something similar in asp.net and linked the list of checkboxes to the "Parts" table, and then collected the collections and added them to the new record of many of the many. I need help when you pick up a job record for editing, and then bind the part records selected in many of the relationship records to the checkbox list.
The second request may not be the one that can be matched in window forms compared to the checkbox list item. In the notes for lotuses, the user can easily use the strokes of the keys in the list of flags by typing the first couple letters of the part, select a value, and then press the comma to start entering the next part .. etc.
Has anyone seen something like this or any other way to quickly (using the keyboard) select many of the many data.
How am I going to introduce this ... I'm starting to add tags to the question and realize that this is the perfect and fast way to do what I need. Has anyone done the same thing in winforms if you can send me some pointers?
