LstGlueSetIncrementalSearch in the Palm OS 5 SDK. Use it to set the "search" flag on the list attached to the popup selector, and the OS will take care of jumping to the right character.Hi allI am new to this Developer Forum. If anywhere I am going wrong, let me know. Problem :- I have a popup list In which I am displaying a "code" one of the field from my "Supplier" table. and the end user supposed to select the code from the List. Total Number of visible items (List ) = 3. and there are almost 50 code in a list. and it is not at all fisible to scroll the list to the end just to select the code which starts with charactor "Z" therefore I want to get keyDownEvent so that I can capture the charactor and then can use LstSetTopItem function and can display him the code that starts with the charactor "Z". (Same thing is there in Palm OS app "Prefs" ---> Set Time Zone where you can select the contry by using the Graffiti)
BTW, in a popup list, it is preferred to make the number of visible items as large as possible (usually 11), since there's no point to just showing a few items and making the user scroll a lot.
