i'm trying to do a simple intellisense where you type a word and the listbox pops ups with possible matches, like vb6 does. My only issue is when it gives focus back it flickers, and is really annoying. Google the only examples i've found have the listbox on the forum in question and just move and show that, that works fine if the forms large enough to hold it, mines not so I need a popup solution. Any ideas?
dang another responseless thread, first couple I posted here you guys were all over it. But it's ok, thanks for lookin at it, have a goodnight.
Did you manage to find an answer to your question? If so could you please share your solution with us.
I didn't sorry, the only good way i've seen is putting the listbox or whatever on the same form, and moving and showing that when you type. This works fine for code editors or something with space,I honestly have no idea how vb6 does it,because they do use some kind of popup window, yet it doesn't effect the focus at all.
In one of my programs I used ListBox for this. Initially ListBox was kept blank, and every new entry was added to it, i.e. while typing letters it searched for the typed letters in listbox and shown suggested words, if a new word was typed, list box disappeared and on execution that new word was added to listbox.
