Hello..
I am writing a customer management/inventory app. I am currently working on
the order entry screen, and was wondering what the best way to proceed on
this is:
I want to have the customer last name field be a combo box, such that when
the user begins typing in it, it will re-populate itself using only the
entries that match the typing. For example: you have these names in your
customer list:
Smith
Smithson
Smithers
Smyth
Smitty
The user types 'sm' and there's no change, they type 'i', and 'smyth'
disappears, they type 'smith' and smitty disappears also.
Basically the same way most web-browsers auto complete the address field.
(Opera 5 for linux, or IE and NS on Windows), except once a user tabs away
from this field, it will populate the rest of the form if they selected an
already existing entry.
Any advice? Has it already been done somewhere? What events should I be
listening for?
Thanks...
