Hi Michael,

I came across to you post little late, but wanted to share a big thank you for enhancing the FlexiSearch feature which we thought initially to maximise the user's flexibility in order to work within the cognos analytics windows avoding the download to excel and work on excel for business users for local filters.

Thank you once gain for improvements on top.

Subject: ComboBox - Extended Select with Search Prompt Native Custom Control

I was trying to see how to build native custom controls so I modified the Select with Search Custom control by VERACiTiZ. I thought others might enjoy it and keep trying to create more native custom controls. All credit for the original code is to VERACiTiZ. I just added the following features. 

Extended features include:

- A manual apply filter button

- Use/Display values for the drop down search

- And converted into an IBM Cognos Native Custom Control.

There are some extra configuration attributes that don't really do much but I left them in because I was having some issues with removing them. Just ignore the config options (Tooltip, SVG Icon, Color). If you unzip the Extension I also have a report XML that uses the Boston 311 calls data set  and shows how to setup the prompt. 

You can find the custom control in the Authored controls section of Insertable Objects for reports. 

The original tutorial how to setup the custom control can be found at the link below:
