Hi I'm using Open edge 10.2B

I wonder is there a way to have a search box that acts like googles one. e.g. if you type
Test into google you get a white box underneath with suggestions. Ive got a combo box with auto complete on but I cant get the drop bit to work while typing and not sure how i can fitler what comes in the drop down box.


Any suggestions would be great cheers
 
well in managed to find a way to force the drop down box

Code: 
PROCEDURE SendMessageA EXTERNAL "USER32.DLL":   
  DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER winHandle AS LONG NO-UNDO.   
  DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER winMsg    AS LONG NO-UNDO.   
  DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER winParam1 AS LONG NO-UNDO.   
  DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER winParam2 AS LONG NO-UNDO.   
END PROCEDURE.
 
 
 RUN SendMessageA (INPUT  cbProgram:hwnd in frame fmain,
                      335,
                      1,   /* True */
                      0
                      ).


But as ever with progress nothing is simple. on the value change on a combox set as a drop down. The mouse cursor disappears which is rubbish so when i do my drop down box i lose my cursor

anyone got any ideas how to overcome this bug?
 
looks like this bug only happens when the program is ran from appbuilder I'll see how i get on with it
 
I was wrong it does the same outside appbuilder... very annoying why does the mouse cursor disappear??
 
anyone got any ideas on this? why does the mouse pointer disappear?? or any ideas on how to get round it.. its totaly gone until you click the mouse
 
just used a listbox in the end... put the list box under the fill-in and show and hide it when needed. bit of a pain in the back side and still no idea what that mouse pointer error is... good old progress NOT
