People seem to have a lot of problems with this - so I am posting it here as a reference.... it is also in the aeDating manual.

type -

type of the field (the text between slashes specifies what should be enclosed in the “extra” field)

d - digit

f - float

c - char (edit box) /size/

p - password (edit box; all symbols are displayed as stars)

e - enum /all values/

en - enum numeric /range/

a - text area /size/

o - divider

r - reference /reference to the list of values/

rb - radio-button /values/

set - a set of checkboxes

s - reserved

search_type - type of the search field radio - select search criteria by choosing one item from enumerated type

list - select search criteria by choosing more than one value from enumerated type viewed as a list

check - select search criteria by choosing more than one value from enumerated type viewed as a list of checkboxes

daterange - range of years "from","to"

check_set - select search criteria by choosing more than one value from set type viewed as a list of checkboxes

text - search by keyword in long text fields like description


It would be nice to have some expanded comments about some of these options - with some comments on possible bugs present or enhancements desired - ie; sometimes they don't work as expected.
