>From the Change History:

- Implemented incremental searching in the dialog variant only.
Incremental searching is possible only when dropdown style is in
effect for the main combo box. Once enabled, when you enter characters
to the edit portion of the dropdown combo box, CA appends each
character to the search criteria edit field. A search is conducted for
each successive keystroke. Following each search, the combo box
contains an increasingly restricted subset of source file entries.

Once a string is Not Found, the combo box contains all source file
entries. After that, the next keystroke (assuming the alternate focus
flag is off) starts a new incremental search. If the alternate focus
flag is on, you must expand and set keyboard focus on the combo box
yourself after a Not Found result. Note that although the input focus
is in the combo box edit field, to see the complete search string you
must refer to the search criteria edit box. After each successive
search, the combo box edit field is emptied (otherwise the
autocomplete behavior of the combo box would cause the list to be
scrolled to the first entry that begins with the search string.) It is
not possible to show the combo box list window when another control
has focus. That is why input focus must be kept on the combo box
instead of the search criteria edit field during incremental searching.

- The button function that previously showed the CA.chm help file now
shows a menu; among the choices are Font Selection, help files from
the PowerPro folder hierarchy, caching options, and a few convenience
functions. The filetypes included for help files are: chm, hlp, rtf
and doc. If the powerpro pcf file is not stored in the application
folder, pprofolder is also searched for help files.

- Corrected a problem with the bar variant: when options settings are
hidden it is still possible to unintentionally tab to and change them.
CA now detects attempts to change options on the bar variant when they
are hidden, defeats any changes, and moves focus to the search
criteria edit box.

- Changed the dropdown style used for file selector combo boxes to
dropdownlist. Dropdown style was previously used because it allowed
the selected file name to be automatically right-scrolled in the combo
edit field. With shorter entries (non-qualified file names) in the
combo box, that behavior is no longer needed.

- Found and fixed a few bugs. Also removed a "debug" statement that
found its way into one or two previous releases.

- Updated and corrected the help file.
