The DataSourcePicker class provides a dialog that can be used to select objects from the DataSource. It provides much of the functionality offered by the ObjectPicker dialog, but with added features and improved performance.
The following image gives an example of the appearance of the DataSourcePicker dialog. Click on various parts of the image to get a description of the function of that aspect of the dialog.
When using this dialog to perform a search in the "Name" column, the search result may contain some objects for which the name does not contain the search string. Objects contained in a category whose name contains the search string will also be returned.
More information about the usage and functionality of the DataSourcePicker dialog can be found in the Getting Started Guide.
