Just Another AutoComplete for string gadgets

Thanks Lloyd.

I love reading the conversation between two MASTERS, as the school, i understand nothing, but, i love when even.

It's so beautifull ....all this hieroglyphs lines of code, the watchmaking of programming in fact.
Sometime, when i see your works, i retrieve the eyes of KCC chiildren, before his christmas tree

Thank you NETMAESTRO, for allowing me to relive that sensation
If one day, i come back to earth, maybe I will ask myself incarnate into a frog :roll:

I've added a deleteString procedure for my use.

I'm also looking (unsuccessfully, so far) at Mr dige's request
>But how about a possibility
to select one item with keyboard keys like jump to the
choice box with tabkey and then select one with up and down key?

cheers

I've added a deleteString procedure for my use.

PM me the procedure and I'll put it in the main posted code. It's a good idea and one I was planning to get to.

Updated today, please see first post for code and details.

...sans 405 thousand extra bytes of bloat.

Now you put that bloat right back you hear! This is Windows we are talking about and I likes my bloatedness!

hehe

Actually I'm squinting at the gadget element of the pstr() list. I'm not convinced anymore that it's needed as each object is tied to a gadget anyway, why specify a gadget when *this\pstr() only points to the list that was attached to this gadget?

I've noticed a delay when closing the window, both in the demo and in my incorporating application (it also happens on a minimization of the window).

Commenting out the SetWindowHookEX eliminates the delay.

Is this merely a by-product of the hook?

Is there any way to eliminate it (besides eliminating the hook?)

It makes it appear as if the program has hung on a minimize and/or close.

First, thanks a lot for this usefull lib

That will be cool if the element from the list could be automaticly get the focus on a mouse over.
Like that, we 'll just have to use one click (left or right) instead of 2.

----edit-----

Another very usefull stuff to add.
If there is nothing write in the stringgadget() and if the user make a #PB_EventType_LeftDoubleClick, the popup list could be open by defaut with the "a" list.

thanks again for your work

Also I have tried to get this working on a ComboBox but no joy!

When I came up with the idea of tapping SQLite for an easy search of text matches, it didn't occur to me that there might be a penalty. In fact, there was. The penalty came in the form of 405 kb being added to the executable size, just for autocompletes.

I could really use this with SQLite as it's in all my projects so the penalty doesn't worry me.

When I load my data form, i'd like to load up an autocomplete list for each gadget that needs it. At the moment, I do this for comboboxes but it looks ugly as I cannot 'flatten' and colour combos properly and autocomplete stringgadgets would look nice.
