Step 2. Snap in the Employees By Name filter

VFW040 – Snap in Real Filters

Now that you have created and compiled your filter, you need to snap it into the Framework. This means that you will replace a dummy filter (which is a shipped component) with your reusable part.

1.  In the Framework, close the Program Coding Assistant.

2.  Double click the Employees business object to display its Business Object properties dialog.

3.  Select the Filters tab sheet and select the By Name filter. Then select the Filter Snap-in Settings tab sheet.

4.  Specify iiiVFW04 as the Windows Filter handler component, where iii are your initials.

5.  Save and Restart your framework.

6.  Select the Employee business object. On the By Name filter, enter a single letter such as "S" or "B" and click the Search button. The Instance List should be populated with matching employee details.
