Yes, I use sorted array with combo box.rathinagiri wrote:... Are all of your combo box items are alphabetically arranged?
Thank you very much!!!Roberto Lopez wrote:I usually solve that, with an OnChange procedure that takes value from edit control of the combo and search inside combo with a loop across all elements.sudip wrote: BTW, do you have any idea how to use incremental search in combobox. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=404

If you use SORT instead of ONDISPLAYCHANGE, yes.rathinagiri wrote:In this case, if we use 'sort .t.' incremental search is inbuilt. Isn't it?
May I differ with you? I LIKE it very muchMy opinion is : I don't like it
Any comment ?
And it will be very helpful to me )If "it" is incremental search, no; if it's single letter search, yes.sudip wrote: Will it run "without" using Display Edit ?
Regarding HMG documentation, COMBOBOX under COLUMNCONTROLS property of GRID have only one property /parameter : acItems; neither event, nor method.How can I use this technique in Grid -> Combo box ?
