If the user pauses for more than a second (60 ticks,) then the collected keystrokes are abandoned and the search starts over. You can adjust the timing by changing the "60" to something else. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: selecting from a list with aid of keyboard
in the field's script you could use the following scripts anytime! These are TAOO's basic behavior templates in field objects. to handle line scrolling (or wrapping too) and first letter scrolling. to add a second letter scrolling i would add a time stamp where if there is a new key pressed in the next 1 or 2 seconds, you find the laststring, else you start from scratch. Also consider what column of your table fields is sorted to help jump to the right column... I cant give it all away yet but this should get you going! on rawkeydown which local hl,maxl put the hilitedline of me into hl put the number of lines in me into maxL switch which case 65362 if hl > 1 then subtract 1 from hl else put maxL into hl set the hilitedline of me to hl mouseup break case 65364 if hl <= maxL then add 1 to hl else put 1 into hl set the vscroll of me to 0 end if set the hilitedline of me to hl mouseup break case 65421 -- TAOO's custom editors -- works like renaming files in ie explorer or the finder -- in a list of items. Also works for menus. -- XOSAlignScrollingEditControl "RenameField" show fld "RenameField" get the hilitedtext of me delete char 1 to 2 of it delete char offset(tab,it) to -1 of it put it into fld "renameField" Select line 1 of fld "renameField" break default -- search typed text -- modify depending what your field contains that should be scrolled to get offset(cr&which,me) -- not optimized for huge lists but should work fine. set the hilitedline of me to (the number of lines in char 1 to it of me) pass rawkeydown end switch end rawkeydown > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Kurt Kaufman > Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 17:23 > To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Subject: selecting from a list with aid of keyboard > > I know that this issue was addressed sometime in the last > couple of years, but I can't seem to locate it: > > When selecting a single line from a scrolling list (this > being a Rev list, not the OS file selection box)it would be > useful to enter 1-3 keys to have the field scroll to the > entered letter, or letters. > > Could someone point me to the discussion of that subject? > > Thanks, Kurt > ___ > use-revolution mailing list > use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
selecting from a list with aid of keyboard
Well, here's a start: (script of list "thelist") on keydown whichkey if whichkey is not in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" then exit mousedown repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in cd fld "thelist" if the first char of line x of cd fld "thelist" = whichkey then select line x of cd fld "thelist" exit repeat end if end repeat pass keydown end keydown ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
