Anyone know VisualBasic6?

[Samuel Dravis]

I need some help figuring this out. I'm making a cfg editor for jk2, and i want it to popup a list (list1) of the item partially typed into a textbox (text1). if it can be positioned off to the lower right of the text that'll be great. any ideas? thanks

 

here's some of the code from text1_change:

 

CODE_______________________

Private Sub Text1_Change()

List1.Visible = True ' default = false

Timer2_Timer

End Sub

 

Private Sub Timer2_Timer()

'List1.Visible = False

Timer2.Enabled = False

End Sub

/CODE________________________

 

i wanted to make it 'invisible until user typed something. if timer2's interval was over, then the list would disappear. if list1.visible = false was true it would disappear in a millisecond.

i can't figure that one out either.

Search through the strings you have and compare them to what is being typed in. THen display everything that matches. I would show the code but I havent done VB since last year.

 

Im using Java Now o yeah

Are you trying to simulate the dropdown in IE (where once you start typing it tries to match your entry, and displays a list of possible matches below), or am I missing something here?

Here's what you need:

 

Firstly, you need to have the DLL for Microsoft Forms 2.0 (FM20.DLL) installed. I'm not sure if this is installed by default because I have so much **** installed on my machine I don't know what an original VB install looks like.

 

1. On your toolbox, right click, scroll down to "Microsoft Forms 2.0 object library" and check it. A couple of forms 2.0 components will appear similar to the originals (forms 2 label, text box, drop down and so on)

 

2. Select the 2.0 Drop-down and place it on your form

 

3. Set the "Style" property to "2 - fmStyleDropDownList" instead of "1- fmStyleDropDownCombo".

 

4. This will match text automatically as you type

 

hope this helps
