 Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2002 11:18 am Post subject: Autocomplete Edit Box - NO DLL |
 |
|
Here's another "NO DLL" version of an "autocomplete"
edit box. I added a simulated flashing cursor, and
some code to make sure it "autocompletes" the right
words (instead of grabbing any letter combination
that matches from the list). It checks words from
the list both typing and backspacing.
You can't highlight and copy (unless you copy from
E2 with a menu, menu hot keys, etc.). You might also
fake highlighting by removing E2 and adding it again
with a STYLE to simulate the highlighting if you were
determined to use a menu option such as "select text".
Have fun with it... :)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
| Code: |
rem -- Auto complete edit box with simulated flashing cursor --
rem -- IMPORTANT: Use a substring of @dlgtext(E2) to avoid the
rem -- cursor: @substr(@dlgtext(E2),1,@pred(@len(@dlgtext(E2))))
rem -- Don't use @dlgtext(E1), you won't get autocompleted text.
OPTION SCALE, 96
OPTION DECIMALSEP, "."

EDIT - Added code to flash cursor when edit box is empty.

Here is another version which auto-completes not only the first, but also the rest of the words... (Eeeh... the first word doesnt work, the rest does...)
Known bugs:
- First word isn't auto-completeble
- Enters don't work (So I turned this of with the help of :Entermenu)
- If you change the window when you pressed TAB there is a change
that the window will be hidden, and then a second later just appears...
| Code: |
list create,1
rem first line must be empty
rem first character must be a | so the script will search only the begin of a
rem character
list loadtext,1
