Steve,
If the keystrokes are more than _DBLCLICK seconds apart FoxPro starts a new incremental seek, which is pretty handy, but the default _DBLCLICK isn't long enough for most folks.
Add two custom properties to your lowest level cbo subclass. nOldDBLClick and nDBLClick. Set nDBLClick to something like 0.5 or some other value that feels comfortable to your clients. In the GotFocus:
with this
.nOldDBLClick = _DBLCLICK
_DBLCLICK = this.nDBLClick
endwith
In the LoastFocus:
_DBLCLICK = this.nOldDBLClick
By having the property you can easily adjust the sensitivity of the cbo.
>Looking at the help file for Combo Boxes tells you that a combo box has the ability to do an incremental search. I can not get it to do more than a first letter search on items within the combo box. For instance, if there are 3 items that start with s but differ after the s, it will not look at anything past the s. I have to hit s multiple times for it to jump to the next item. The help file says that it will do a search such as s - t - e and find the first item starting with ste but this does not seem to work for me. Does anyone have any suggestions or confirmations on this?
