Auto-Complete in a String Gadget.

[Arcee_uk]

Hi,

Is it possible to do an Auto-Complete function within a string gadget as a user types - as you see in things like Webbrowers?

In the program I am trying to write a user needs to select an item to add but as this item could be massivley varied I am thinking an Auto-Complete idea is best - so if my program thinks it know what the user is typing it makes a suggestion as they type.

My reasoning is that I have a list of pre-loaded data and if the user is entering in something my program knows of it can let them know by auto-compltion. Also it can help to reduce spelling mistakes too!

I was going to use a Combo box with pre-loaded suggstions and an "Other" entry if the user was adding something not in the list. But I wonder if the above idea would work better....

Any ideas on this at all?

Thanks

Arcee.

Stupidly I did not think of that for some reason. Which is odd as I do normally. Thanks .
