Hello,
Is in WinDev this possibility present like in Magic ?
For example : a file with the following clients (name = keyfield) :
ARCHIE BAAK BALLMER BASMAN BAVER
- I start typing with the letter B : the cursor park on BAAK
- I type further the letter A : the cursor stays on BAAK
- I type further the letter S : the cursor stays on BASMAN
and so on.
Is there a standard behaviour in WinDev too or had this to be coded?
TIA for your reply (Today I stop, tomorrow it's sunday and then I didnot work at all, monday I will check the replies.)
Teun.

Hello Teun,
In a combobox you have a "assisted input" control in the details page.

As an aside, you can do an incremental search like this when filling in controls on forms.
Use queries, so each field is searchable
Tick Assisted Entry in the field details and as you type the nearest entry already existing in the file will be found, incrementally.
Saves having two files, say family and student if you can auto fill from the student file instead of doing a lookup.
