I don't know if the KeyRelease event is the right one to use (it seems
strange to me: why wait for a key release to do something? Normally
things happen as soon as a key is pressed...), but surely KeyPress can work.
In the KeyPress event of the listbox, start to search for the next item
beginning with the letter, with wrap; then move the index.
In pseudocode:
sub xxx_keypress()
dim scan as integer
if key.text > "z" or key.text < " " then return ' this key is
not "searchable"
scan = last.index
do
inc scan
if scan >= last.count then scan=0 ' wrap to the top again
if scan=last.index then return ' went where we started off:
didn't find another item
if last[scan].text like key.text & "*" then
' found another
last.index = scan
return
loop
end sub
I did not test this snippet but the general idea should work. May be
some adjustment is needed...
May be this is slow...
