Filter with the option to choose more than one item

Question

Hi,

I need a filter with a choice of more than one item, like a listbox?

Answer 1

You would have to build that yourself, probably using a custom control for the checked list box, as LightSwitch doesn't include a checked list box control as standard.

You can, however, use the standard LightSwitch filter control, and enter multiple terms separated by OR.

EG
Where FruitType = Orange
     Or FruitType = Apple
     Or FruitType = Grape
