Reposition

[Yohn]

Hi,
I have next situation:
I have button that opens searching browse with 2 columns. On that brows I have variable what. when I start typing letters It must scroll trough the column depending what letter or set of letters I enter. For example when I start typing mus it must find first record that matches first three letters in table, and mark that row in browser.

thx.

This is probably possible by capturing the VALUE-CHANGED event in the field and using it to reposition the current row in the browse. Warning though, I find the repositioning methods of the PSC browse confusing, incomplete, and poorly documented. Every time I seriously work on it, I reconsider switching to a third party grid control. However, most of them aren't much better. It's just a difficult issue all around, I suppose.

Try this....

in a trigger assuming browse browsename is enabled...

on any-printable of browse browsename do:
pressed-keys = pressed-keys + keylabel(lastkey).
if length(pressed-keys) <> 3
then return no-apply.
find first tablename where tablename.data begins pressed-keys no-error.
if available tablename ... reposition,set row, etc
... more stuff....
pressed-keys = "".
end.

That should get you started.
