Searching using a combination of MessageChoice & TextInput in ADF UIX Page

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to create a page in ADF UIX which implements search operation using a combination of "Message Choice" & "Text Input". I refered to the OTN How to's Document for "Building a list of Values (LOV) with ADF UIX". It's been mentioned in the document to create an LovInput component & when you do that an UIX page LovWindow0.uix is created by default along with two handler's "LovFilter" and "LovSelect".
when I try to implement this concept in the simple UIX page with out creating a LOV Input field.... i.e; I tried to implement this concept by just using the List of values component.... I'm not able to associate a handler to the go button present in the default list of files component.
Consider the scenario where I'm using the Departments View.. In the list I'm displaying the filter Choice & in the Text Input specifying the where condition...
Can anyone please help me out on this...I'm new to this concept...
Thanks & Regards,
Arun

Hi Sam,
i think this link should have part of ur solution.

There you need to make slight modifications to the codes so as to suite ur scenario of search(having a message choice to choose filter and a textinput for the search value)
The new method that you add by reading the page can be modified.
Origional method mentioned is
public void setCondition (String p_cond)
ViewObject empvo = findViewObject("EmployeesView1");
     //Creating a Where clause for the query
String whereclause = "LAST_NAME like '%"+ p_cond +"%'";
empvo.setWhereClause(whereclause);
empvo.executeQuery();
replace this with the new method
public void setCondition (String p_filter,String p_value)
ViewObject empvo = findViewObject("EmployeesView1");
     //Creating a Where clause for the query
String whereclause = p_filter+" = "+p_value ;
empvo.setWhereClause(whereclause);
empvo.executeQuery();
But if u have a filter which is suppposed to be charechter field den the code should be
public final void setMoreConditions(String p_field, String p_value)
ViewObject empvo = findViewObject("EmployeesView1");
if (p_field.equalsIgnoreCase("last_name")||p_field.equalsIgnoreCase("first_name"))
String whereclause = p_field+" LIKE '%"+p_value+"%'";
empvo.setWhereClause(whereclause);
else
if (p_field.equalsIgnoreCase("manager_id")||p_field.equalsIgnoreCase("department_id") )
String whereclause = p_field+" = '"+p_value+"'";
empvo.setWhereClause(whereclause);
else
String whereclause = "";
empvo.setWhereClause(whereclause);
empvo.executeQuery();
In the above code include all the charechter field names in the first if condition.
I think that should solve ur purpose.
Try it and let me know if ur having any problems.
