I'm trying to find the property that controls the timeout that
triggers a new search when in search mode.
I have a TIB_Listbox that I am searching through a list of item names
using an incremental search, so for example when the user presses "T"
it will go to the first "T???" item, then the user presses "O" and the
first "TO??" item is located and so on. My problem is the timeout
where the accumulated search string, i.e. "TO" is so short that the
user has to type fast to get more than a few letters into the search
string before it clears itself.
Also can I enter letters into this search string? I have an edit box
that brings up the list box so when the user types a letter into the
edit box it brings up the list box for searching. I would like to
start the listbox search with the user typed letter.
thanks,
rick
