combobox

[James Bott]

Jose,

I meant that I need a copy of your version of FWH's source code for the combobox. You will find this at FWH\source\classes\combobox.prg. Please send this to me, then I can test your version of FWH to see if it works with incremental searching.

Jose,

The reason I spelled out my email address like this:

jbott at compuserve dot com

Is so the robots can't recognize it as an email address and harvest it and start spamming me.

Dear all,
It is apparently not that easy to become an incremental searching in comboboxes?? Or not?
Kind regards
José

Jose,

It is very easy if your version of FW supports it.

I never got your combobox.prg, did you send it?

Hello James,
which version supports incremental search?
Is there a sample to test incremental search.
Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

Incremental searching was broken in some of the older versions--I don't know which ones.

In the later versions it is case sensitive. In the next release case sensitive will be optional as incremental searching is now.

There is sample code to test incremental searching on page 2 of this thread. Also posted there are changes you need to make to combobox.prg to get case insensitive searching with your current version (I made them on v 10.3).

Hello James,

thank you.
But I am looking for DropDown Style not DropDownList.

Best regards,
Otto

Dear James,
I made a new buildh.bat following your instructions (and I called it jbott.bat). The non case sensitive combobox incremental search is working perfectly now in my programs with the space bar key to begin each new search.
I thank you very much for this private support.
Perhaps you can explain on this forum how to do for the other interested members because I see that the combobox item on this FiveTech support forum had already many hits last days.
Thank you again and best regards.
