Kevin, No, AutoCompleteTable cannot point to a cursor -- you must point it to an actual table. I suspect that VFP handles the opening of the table as needed in a hidden, private data session and does not allow you to point it to anything other than a table that it can open.
As for your other very interesting questions, I have no idea, but it sounds like you might have fun experimenting. Here is one of Calvin's blog entries that involves looking at the autocomplete table as it's changing... http://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2005/08/04/447735.aspx David Stevenson http://www.talkingfox.blogspot.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Cully Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 3:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Autocomplete Textbox My client is wanting more "Access" like functionality out of their application. They used to have a textbox with Autocomplete like functionality where they would type and it would complete that field for them. That worked fine when they had 100s of values, but now they are in the 1000s and are on their way up. Can I have the MyTextbox.AutoCompTable point to a cursor? Perhaps in the INIT of the Textbox put a THIS.AutoCompTable = DBF('MyCursorName') Can I manipulate the contents of that cursor during the MyTextbox.InteractiveChange method to call out to something that zaps and repopulates that cursor? Eventually, I'd like to sublcass a textbox to encapsulate some of this functionality. So far, my tests aren't working at all.
