Hi
I am trying to use UltraCalcManager as a formula engine in a project.
Is it possible to set a property somewhere which allows to omit the // required in global parameters.
Asking users to put [//paramname] everytime is looking a little bad when it is not required for them !
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Mike
I dont think it will be too hard for Infragistics to add a property to wincalcmanager which when set to true treats all "relative" parameters as "global" - that is it looks in namedereferences even if the // is not found.
Can this be please added in the next update ?
I have a lot of projects based on ultracalcmanager ...

Hm. I can't think of any great way to do this. I suppose you could search the text of the formula specifically for the names of your NamedReferences and always add the "//" before each one if it's not already there. But if your NamedReference names are common words that could theoretically appear in a literal string, you would have to check for quotation marks and that could get very tricky.
Unfortunately, I don't see any simple way to do this.
Well I used a wrong terminology ... but you got it - I meant Named References.

I am asking this because I want to avoid just simply looking up [ because it might have been used inside a string etc.
Hi Abhishek,
What do you mean by "Global parameters?"
There's no option to turn this off. The "//" is used to indicate an absolute reference name instead of a relative reference name.
If you know that your users are always referencing NamedReferences or controls, you could add in the "//" in code if they are not already there, of course.
