It would be nice to have completion boxes Ctrl+Space for all edit
fields. They could list all macros and/or all files ....
The problem is that the gtk intf does not yet support non modal on
modal forms.
Why does this pose a problem ? I would think that you'd use a simple
listbox for this ?
Well. Yes, this is be possible, but it has some minor quirks:
- If the edit is on a small dialog the listbox is also very short.
- A listbox needs all items in advance for its scrollbar. This would
be pretty slow if the completion box shows thousands of files/words.
- for the highlighting/formatting we need to custom paint.
IMO a custom control is better suited.
Is there any volunteer to program a TCompletionBox?
