Hi Patrick, The pop up window basically contains 2 objects. An enterable text variable at the top and below that a collection based listbox. As you type into the enterable text variable I trap the keystrokes and deal with them and call the METHOD GET PATHS command to load an array with matching method names. Then I put that into the listbox with ARRAY TO COLLECTION. You also have to turn on and off all the right properties for the text variable and list box to make it look “right” when you are building the form — hide focus rectangle, no horizontal lines in the listbox, selection is always visible, etc. Does that answer your question of “how did he do that”?

Hi Tim, thanks a lot :-) I'm fine with commands METHOD and work a lot with them in QST. My concern is about how you display the result inside the "Find" result dialog from 4D application. If it is not this, it is really realistic as result.

Thank you and glad you are finding it useful. The component basically uses 2 4D commands. METHOD GET PATHS is used to load an array of method names that begin with what you type. Once you select a method you want to open METHOD OPEN PATH is uses to open the method. The majority of the code in the component deals with the user interface and handling the clairvoyance feature and keystrokes you press when typing in a method name. I used the example code in the documentation for the FILTER KEYSTROKE as a starting point. https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17.2/FILTER-KEYSTROKE.301-4387030.en.html Tim * Tim Nevels Innovative Solutions 785-749-3444 timnev...@mac.com * ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
