Hello
I'm trying to use the TIB_LookupCombo for a lookup
list, as a Quicken-style incremental search lookup
box. Basically, for those who have used Orpheus edits,
the behaviour I want is similar to TOvcComboBox when
the Style used is ocsDropDown (without the silly MRU
list).
So, I want for the user to be able to type the first
letter in the long description field, and have the
control move to the first record containing that
letter. Typing the second letter would make the
control move to the first record matching both
letters, etc.
Right at the moment, the TIB_LookupCombo control I'm
using won't even respond to keystrokes. I have to
actually use the mouse point-and-click style from the
drop down.
BTW: I'm happy to use any IB control to achieve this:
I just can't figure out how to achieve it.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated in advance.
