I see. The problem is the timing. Running through a vector and comparing what you typed and completing that is rather trivial. The problem is WHEN to do that. PowerPro doesn't have something like an onKeyUp-event. So I ran that timer indepedently if you type something or not. It's absolutely possible that the autocompletion happens exactly while you are typing then. As I said the script was merely some workaround to fake something like auto-completion... > In retrospect, I think it's because of the use of "*Keys" (right?) Not really.

As I said, better timing should be possible with the keytrap-plugin, where you can get something like a onKeyUp-event and run the script only THEN. The highlighting keys shouldn't be a real problem. Haven't tried it out, though. Maybe I will, although it isn't necessary anymore now... > All my doubt about the usefulness of the autocompletion by any script, > while there exist other ways, was mainly derived by this experience, > well, at least in PP only. These were more deficiencies of my script than deficiencies of PP. Hope I cleared that a bit... Mockey ------------------------ Yahoo!
