Predictive Text

[Petrus Vorster]

Hi all

Do PB have away one can have predictive text in a textbox like in VB.Net?

[Wilko Verweij]

I don't know about .NET, but I know other examples (let's say comparable to the keyword suggestions in FireFly). As far as I know you have to program that yourself, that is, I don't know of any buit-in feature for this. Ask Paul how he does it for the keywords...

Thanks. In .Net its simply a case of linking a data column in your DB to a textbox and there you go, or a simple TXT file.
I would not even know where to start if i have to program that myself!!!
Will ask Paul.

Thanks!

Hi Petrus,

here is a little project to get you startet. The relevan code is in the TXT_CHANGE Event.
(Notice that it needs still a little code to handle the Backspace key etc.)

PS:
The listbox is there only to show you the possible values in the string.

That's what I love about this forum. I myself too received so many quick and competent help from Paul and others. And Netiquette is still held up here.
