I would to: • click a listbox (to ‘focus’ on it) • type - and have it automatically search in the list and highlight the closest match.
Of course, this is common in ’traditional’ apps. For many years, I have jury-rigged this by using a ‘quick scroll’ var on a form. The user clicks into this var, types, and then I find the match in the listBox, highlighting it of course. I would much prefer doing this by having the user click into the listBox (to focus on it) and then just type, with the result of doing the search there. Much more natural. In v17r5, I decided to revisit this to see if it would **finally** work. I enabled ‘Before Keystroke’ and ‘After Keystroke’ in the listBox object. Then in its script, I tried processing these events. However, they do not ’trigger’ in the listBox. I tried it with the listBox both in ’selection mode: single and multiple’. I understand that there would be no ‘variable’ into which the characters would be inserted (as it would be in a comboBox, for example). But I would still like to capture and process the keyboard import anyway. Has anyone been able to achieve this feature? If not, I would like to put it in as a feature request to 4D. regards, Chris Belanger ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
