Win32::GUI

In addition to making the height of your combobox larger, I would also
recommend adding WS_VSCROLL to your style command.  That way if you don't
make your combobox height large enough, people will not be under the
impression that they only have the choices of what they see, due to the
restricted combobox height.

I wonder if that was clearly stated??!!!

Johnathan,

Do you mean $HostName ->Select[0];
I tried both ways, both don't work.

What are the options for Combobox?  I have two applications which use a
combobox.  One created manually and one using GuiLoft.  The one with
GuiLoft does an an Autofill, however, the one made manually does not.
Example:

$Window->AddCombobox(
	-tabstop =3D> 1,
	-default =3D>1,
    -sort =3D> 1,
    -name   =3D> Dropdown,
    -left   =3D> 10,
    -top    =3D> 15,
    -width  =3D> 180,
    -height =3D> 300,
    -scroll  =3D> 1,
    -addstyle  =3D> WS_VISIBLE | 2 | WS_VSCROLL,
);

Given the following data.
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten

In the one created in GuiLoft, if I am in the combobox and press 't', it
selects 'Two'.  If I press 't' again, it selects 'Three'.   However, the
hand created combobox does not do this.  If, for example, I press 't', I
have to press the down arrow on my keyboard for it to populate 'Two'
into the control.  Any help would be umm... helpful 8^)

Hi,

I want to create a combo box that has a visible edit box in which I can type
words, and a listbox that can be opened and that can hold the typed words
in.
And I want that each time when I type a part of a word, it should select the
first match from its list and copy it to the edit box.

I have seen that the Combobox object has a method named SelectString that
could get the first match and copy it into the textfield, but I don't know
how to run this method, because the combo box doesn't seem to have any event
that could fire it after each char is typed.

I have tried -onChar, -onKeyDown, but they are not available for this
object.

I have seen that they are available in case I use the -dropdownlist => 1
option, but in that case the combo box doesn't allow typing words in the
edit field but only selecting words from the list.

Please tell me how can I do that, and one more thing... please tell me how
the Combobox works.
If the combo box is a simple one that doesn't have the -dropdownlist option
set, I guess that the edit box is always shown on the screen. But can the
list box be displayed? I am not sure this type of combo box has that button
with the "down triangle" button that can be used for displaying the list.
Is it possible to have an editable  combo box that also can display the list
box?

Thanks for anything that can help me.

Teddy
