I have a FindBar "object" (group of objects) that I use for querying a sql database. I ues rawKeyUp and a delay to do what you are trying to do. I think I have a demo stack up too with a datagrid and sqlite database. Look for it under Robert Sneidar. Bob S > On Nov 19, 2018, at 14:02 , Kaveh

Thanks Brian. I want to have a flexible search capability and that is indeed one of the things that would be good to have. I have a feeling it is going to be a bit slow so will need some tricks or compromise. For instance, only search if no key pressed for .5 seconds, so it not interrupting typing.

Are you meaning that you need to highlight text found in another field?   Easiest way to describe what I’m referring to is the LC dictionary.  If you type a term in the search box, the matches are highlighted yellow where they are found (syntax and synonym fields).  Implementation would be comple

Have you tried selecting the foundChunk? If you are going to write a routine that checks all the fields on a card and catalog them, you can avoid the standard "find" command, and roll your own. Craig -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html __

There are libraries for this stuff in C. I'm sure if they incorporate something in the engine my stuff would be entirely unnecessary. Anything in C is going to *far* outclass/speed anything I've done in script. On Sun, Nov 18, 2018 at 11:15 PM hh via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> w

Hi Craig Thanks for your time. I should have given more details... i am indeed using enterInField (actually returnInField), and the focus remains the search box I started with the Find command, but then changed to using matchChunk, because: - The Find command shows a thin black border that i

Ah. Maybe the point is that you can continue typing, finding other strings as you go. OK. But my search field, with its "enterInField" handler: on enterinField find me end enterinField will find any text in any field, and continue to find as you either continue typing or delete what you alrea

Hi. Not sure exactly what you mean. You have a ("search") field that you type into, and the text in that field is then found in another field? How different is that process from this? On a card with two fields, in fld 1 type some text that already exists in fld 2. Then in a button script: on mou

Am I right that if a field is not focused on in a card, then the text in it cannot be selected? I have a search field that I type in and when I press enter, it finds the string in another text field. But when the search box is focused on again the selection goes. I want to be able to have the sea

I always appreciate error reporting. I ran into the same problem. Sometimes you can see the error easily enough. But, in complex arrays, it is harder to see the error when looking at JSON. For this reason, I find dropping it into a validator to be useful. They can point you in the right directio
