I might be remembering this wrong, but I thought that 4D had a built-in way
of letting you type ahead to a row in a listbox. I have a one-column
listbox based on an array and want to select items by type. Like, typing
'ca' selects the first item starting with 'ca'.

I messed around with the various attributes (16.1) but didn't find anything
like what I was looking for. Am I remembering something from the old-style
form arrays before listboxes? Am I missing something?

Any help appreciated. It's not worth a ton of code, unless there's some
very generic solution available. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about
type-ahead based on an entry area, I'm talking about a listbox has focus
and you just type. The Finder does this on macOS when you type - it picks
the first matching file or folder. I don't know if there's a shorthand name
for this behavior, but it's widespread in common in the world

Thanks!
