I am working with VFP native data, though it doesn't make a difference. So, I need to be able to costruct "where" clause on the fly in the Cursor Adapter. Do you have suggestions how can we accomplish that?

You can pass builded WHERE clause as a parameter to CA. I think You have button which user press when finished fill Textfields Here You can build the where clause & pass it as a parameter to CA. Something like:
** Button Click
LOCAL cWhere
cWhere = ""
IF !EMPTY(thisform.Text1.Value)
   cWhere = "MyTable.Field1 = "+thisform.Text1.Value
ENDIF

IF !EMPTY(thisform.Text2.Value)
   cWhere = cWhere+IIF(EMPTY(cWhere),""," AND ")+ "MyTable.Field2 = '"+thisform.Text2.Value+"'"
ENDIF

etc..
myCa = CREATEOBJECT("CaClass", cWhere)


**** CA Init
LPARAMETERS cWhere

this.SelectCmd = "SELECT * FROM MyTable "+IIF(EMPTY(cWhere),""," WHERE "+cWhere)
