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

[Michael J. Sinclair, MD]

Hi Jan,
The abberant behavior you are describing seems to happen no matter how long or short I set the WalkMenuInterval. Typing very fast or slow makes no difference. Setting the value to 10ms vs 5000ms did not make a difference. Strangely, it worked at first, then as soon as I changed from the default value of 1500 ms, it stopped working the way it should. Changing the value back to 1500ms did not fix it. Any ideas?
Mike

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.
