Incremental Combobox

[TimStone]

The Combobox class from 08/2013 handles incremental search as the user enters characters. The exact same code with the current version of combobox does not.

PRG code:

Code: Select all  Expand view

    REDEFINE COMBOBOX oCbx VAR oClir:clicty ITEMS aCit ID 865 OF oDcl ;
        STYLE CBS_DROPDOWN  MESSAGE "Enter the clients city" UPDATE
 

RC Code:

Code: Select all  Expand view

  CONTROL "", 865, "ComboBox", WS_BORDER|CBS_DROPDOWN|WS_VSCROLL|WS_TABSTOP, 58, 100, 154, 191
 

What changed in the class, and what do I need to do to get it to work with the lastest code ?

Tim,

Try setting:

Code: Select all  Expand view

oCbx:lIncremental:=.t.

I think it defaults to .f.

That was the first thing I tried before doing the post, and it was not working for me.

It actually has to be lIncSearch := .t.

Tim,

Then I would suggest doing a file compare on the current and previous version.

I did that and there are a series of modifications to the incremental search. I'm assuming there is a shift in either the rc parameters, or the flag(s) I need to set, and that is not documented in the comparison.

I figured Antonio would know ...

Tim,

Please compile And link The combobox.prg of The previous version that worked fine as another prg of your app until we check it, thanks

[TimStone]

That is what I'm doing for now.
