Search as you type combo box? Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on ASPFriends.com 'aspngcontrolscs' list. Holloway, Mike This ? is for Andy Smith, chief code monkey. (or anyone else that knows) I saw your post asking how your cs combobox control @ http://12.255.177.172/ComboBox.html looked. I will attempt to describe it as OK, a bit skinny and the drop down arrow was a bit larger than the height of the text. However, the functionality is excellent and it is time someone created a combo box that has the Access like search as they type functionality. Would you care to share a tutorial on how you did this control. Many of us would love to know. I have spent the past hour searching the lists for how to accomplish this, seen many others asking, but never a good answer. Looks like you know.

If you did it with javascript then I guess I was asking you to share the code. Did you use a regular <SELECT> tag and then code javascript events to accomplish the search? If so which events? Since there were no specifics as to the language or platform, I am at a bit of a loss being more specific. I do know however, that I have been researching this functionality and have seen NUMEROUS questions on these lists and google, but never anyone with answer. You seem to be the only one that is close. I suggested to someone on the .net development team that they make that functionality part of the product but that did not go anywhere. Perhaps this will encourage you to finish the article but if not perhaps you could share what you have done and one of us can carry it further.

That's not to say yours is better or worse than what I've seen before, but it shouldn't be difficult to find them on the internet with the full source code provided. I wish I had time to find a url for you, but someone failed to warn me that today was actually Monday.

The control is no longer installed on the site, so you'll get an asp.net = error if you actually click the button. the jscript for how the clientside functionality works is right there in = the source of the page. there's a lot going on there, and there's about = 2 comments... but I think it's fairly clear code. why don't you go take = a look and ask me if you have any specific questions. I don't claim that = it is the best code ever. I mostly did the ComboBox as an learning = experiment. maybe i'll try to finish it up over the long weekend we have = coming up. oh, and feel free to steal that code however you want. i know there's no = license on there right now... but consider it under the BSD license. __ Andy Smith Chief Code Monkey -----Original Message----- From: Holloway, Mike [mailto:Click here to reveal e-mail address] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 6:31 AM To: aspngcontrolscs Subject: [aspngcontrolscs] RE: Search as you type combo box??
