[RBASE-L] - Re: Is there a Form Control mixed with WalkMenu??

[Michael J. Sinclair, MD]

I think the SET WALKMENU ON is what I was missing. Does it matter if I choose a Variable Lookup Combo Box vs a DB Lookup Combo Box? My intention is to load the selected value into a variable rather than a table, so I think I want to use the Variable Lookup Combo Box even though I am accessing a table from another database to get the values I am looking for. Does that sound right?

 

Also, do you recall the name of property that I use to control the buffer delay?

Michael,

It appears I read your post incorrectly.
WALKMENU should work fine in any control to do what you wish.

One thing to keep in mind is that the default keystroke setting

for WALKMENU is 3 seconds. So if your user is slow the buffer will

clear. So if the user types S and waits, then presses M the S is no

longer valid. You can change this with the PROPERTY command.

I was thinking of the LookupComboBox looking control in Quickbooks.

You can type in the control and it will walk to any instance of your keystrokes

regardless of where they are in the name.
