I've modified Xavier's modification of my modification of
(somebody's??) code to search incrementally in a sorted list field.
Could it have been the one I posted about two years ago? I sent this to
the list:
local lUserKeys, lOldTicks
on keyDown whichKey -- select from keyboard
-- J. Landman Gay, 1990, modified for Revolution: 2003
if (the selectedField is not "") or (charToNum(whichKey) is among the
items of "28,29,30,31") -- arrow keys
then pass keyDown
if the ticks - lOldTicks > 60 then put "" into lUserKeys
put whichKey after lUserKeys
put return & fld "myField" & return into tListText
get lineoffset(cr&lUserKeys,tListText)
if it > 0 then set the hilitedline of fld "myField" to it
put the ticks into lOldTicks
end keyDown
But it doesn't solve one problem: suppose the user starts typing a

The easiest thing would be to just add a beep in this case, but if I
have time today I'll see if I can rewrite it to accomodate.
