auto complete feature

[James Bott]

Ehab,

No, you have the files wrong. What you are calling autoget.ch is autoget.prg. What you are calling autoget.prg is test.prg. You are still missing autoget.ch. I will email you the files. Don't forget to add the autoget.obj to the link list. I will include a copy of buildx.bat (for xHarbour) which you may modify or use as a model.

Ehab,

>Oka I got it but that was not my goal . My goal was to open combobox with all values matched with the first letter and I can chose any one ??

Glad you got it working.

As I mentioned in a previous message, there are different forms of autocomplete, and this one does not work that way. What you are looking for is more like how IE's works.

You can do something similar with a regular combobox. It has a dynamic lookup so as the user types characters it continues to find the first match. The only difference with this and the way IE does it, is that the combobox does not limit the list to just those items that are matching. Still it is a good option.

By the way, I tried to send the files to your email account, but it was rejected because the attachment was too big. The attachment was only 5K (not 5MB). Is a gmail account's limit smaller than 5K?

Gmail is aceepting pictures with large size but no files with binary format such as executable files *.exe , *.bat , *.com. You must rename it.
Can you help in the syntax of getting IE becuase it is very vital to me .

I tried sending a ZIP file.

Have you tried a ComboBox yet?

James,

If the ZIP contains an EXE, then rename the ZIP as ZOP (or similar) and then gmail will accept it

Gee, even ZIPs are considered dangerous now. Thanks.

Hi,

I get the same error as Ehab Samir Aziz.

Anyone is using this class with success?. Thanks

[mgsoft]

Hello,

Someone is using this class?. It seems a great feature

[James Bott]

Mgsoft,

Do you mean this error?

>autoget.prg(42) Error E0030 Syntax error: "syntax error at '@'"

Or, some other?

Regards,
James

[mgsoft]

James,

Thank you for your reply. The error is Error description: Error BASE/44 Assigned value is wrong class: TAUTOGET:LAUTO

and the error is in METHOD LostFocus( hWndGetFocus ) inline ::SetPos(1), ::lAuto := Nil, ::super:LostFocus( hWndGetFocus )

If I comment out this method, it works fine.

Regards

[James Bott]

mgsoft,

Yes, I see that there are still some bugs. lAuto is nil when the class is intialized, then set to .t. or .f. and at the point you have shown an attempt is made to set it to nil again. This seems to be triggering the error. The code should be rewritten so that lAuto is always a logical.

I don't think commenting out that line is a good solution since seems that it will affect the behavour of the class (lAuto never gets assigned to nil as it needs to be).

James,

Thank you. Fixed:

METHOD LostFocus( hWndGetFocus ) inline ::SetPos(1), ::lAuto := .T., ::super:LostFocus( hWndGetFocus )
