Coding, syntax & commands
Steve,
I actually tried this. Create a form with the grid and it looks pretty nice. But I cannot make the incremental search work. I tried to set the code in the KeyPress on the TexBox of the Grid. But since the Grid is read only it work but like #&$@......bad.
So I stared doing it with the LisBox today before I left the office (when I posted this message). I wanted to avoid doing it all from scratch. I thought maybe somebody wrote something similar for these cases of have a better/simpler idea.
I checked the download bud did not find anything.
Maybe somebody can direct me to one?
Thanks
