quotation for a Control

[ukservice]

Hello.

I would like to request a quotation for a control.

I am interested in a control similar to this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21772&hilit=AUTOGET

It should work as http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#default

I may indicate either an Array or the field of a DBF.

Anyone who is interested in developing it please send me a quotation at ukservice.software@gmail.com

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

U can use AUTOGET CLASS

before create an array from dbf with wich U want for sample :

AAdd( aArray, ALLTRIM(FIELD->CUSTOMER))
HERE RUN OK

What features of the java control are you interested in that are not in the FW control?

I seem to remember that the dropdown list was one of them.

I also notice that the java control lists all items that contain the search string, not just those that start with the search string. Is that also something you want? I can't really see that as being too useful and it will slow down searching considerably.

James

Thank you for reply.

Please, go to http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#default and type Ja

I need the menu to let the user select Java or Javascript. This feature is not included in autoget.

>I need the menu to let the user select Java or Javascript. This feature is not included in autoget.

So you are saying that you want the dropdown list?

I don't know about the autoget class, but in one that I wrote the user could type JA to get Java displayed in the GET. Or, they could continue to type javas to get Javascript displayed in the GET. Is this acceptable? Note that this requires five keystrokes, and the dropdown list method requires only four (j,a, down arrow, down arrow). However, these four keystrokes are actually more difficult since you have to move your hand to the arrow keys.

This is how Autoget works. But what I need is that Java and Javascript appear into a dropdown and the user could pick up one, like the example.

Theoretically, you should be able to do this with the DROPDOWN style of the Combobox, however, it seems that a number of the control's features are broken or never worked correctly. I am looking into this.

Hello

i sent you a email with a prototypes... did you received?

[ukservice]

Hello.

Yes, that´s what I need.

Two little things:

When I select an Item, GET control must respect total length so I can write more words.

If I type a value not present in the Array (ae Myhouse), a double line is painted under get control.

Also, Mr. Nao told me that it would be included in FW 08 or 09.

Thank you very much.

Daniel,

When using the combobox style DROPDOWN, I find that the Open() method is not working and the var lIncSearch is also not working (no incremental searching).

I am using FWH 10.8 so these may have been fixed since then.

James

we didn't made change in the class combobox after your version

could you provide a little sample ?

In the prototype sent to ukservise, i didn't use combobox, was a new class...

David,

Here is a sample.

about open...

#include "fivewin.ch"

function main()
   local cItem:="Dog               "
   local aItems:={"House", "Car", "Cat", "Dog", "Java", "Frog", "Javascript", "wagon"}
   local oDlg, oCombo

   aItems:= asort( aItems )

   Define dialog oDlg

   @ 1,10 combobox oCombo;
     var cItem ;
     items aItems;
     style CBS_DROPDOWN;
     of oDlg ;
     pixel size 150,200;
     on edit change (oCombo:oGet:varput("Dog           "), oCombo:refresh() )

     //oCombo:bGotFocus:= {|| oCombo:open() } // doesn't work

     oCombo:lIncsearch:=.t.  // not working

     // This is not working.
     //oCombo:open()
     //oCombo:refresh()
     
     oDlg:bStart = {||oCombo:open(), oCombo:bGotFocus:= {|| oCombo:open() }  }
     
   activate dialog oDlg //on init (oCombo:open() ) // Open() doesn't work

return nil

// eof
 
 

for lIncsearch i'll review the case

[James Bott]

David,

> oDlg:bStart = {||oCombo:open(), oCombo:bGotFocus:= {|| oCombo:open() } }

OK, this works but it has the strange side effect of changing the mouse cursor to an hourglass whenever it is over the dialog (while the control is open). Are you seeing the same thing with the newer version?
