True Grid

[InvisibleDuncan]

I've got a column in my True Grid that's linked to a True Grid drop-down list. How do I set it so that when you type a letter in that field it takes you to the first item in the list that starts with that letter...? I've done it before but can't for the life of me remember how. It doesn't help that someone's run off with the manual.

Any ideas, anyone?

Hello ID

TrueGrid eh ......... whats that then ??

AI know a listbox will take you to the first entry of the letter you press, but I'm sure a man of your stature knows that already

I should be down the pub now, but I'm sad enuff to want to know what a TrueGrid is

Does that drop down list have events like the drop down combo box events?

Wotcha, TBO. I presume you're hung-over.

True Grid's like the MSFlexGrid, but more flexible - it allows data entry and things like that. It can be a bugger to use, though. To set up a combo on one of the cells, you have to use a separate drop-down control and link the cell to it.


Hack - it does have events, but I definitely didn't use them before. There's a combination of properties that need to be set.

Check this:
TDBGrid.Columns(1).AutoDropdown=True

Let me know

If it works!!

Thanks, AJ, but that wasn't it. Nice try, though.

I finally managed to track it down: the DropDown control has a property of ListField, which needs to be the same as the DataField property of the column you want to select from.

Thanks for your help, people.
