WebBrowser Control (Turn Auto Complete On?)

[wpearsall]

Is it possible (im guessing it is?) to turn auto-complete on (what IE Uses with the drop down menu's etc) in A WebBrowser control?

I want the drop down menu on all of the text box's etc, like IE uses, & if i dont gotta program dat myself, Even better

is there a fast, easy way to it?

Well, you gotta get all the URLs, which are in string form, are stored in the registry...the key i found for this is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

If you need more help, just tell me.

[wpearsall]

No.... (Maybe wasnt clear)

You know when you go to say, http://www.Yahoo.com,

and then you type in the search input box say "Free" and you have previously typed in a search input / input box called the same name before, "Free Money" "Free Webspace" "Free Clothes" "Free Food" "Free Soda" "Free Stuff Cuz Im A Scrubba" etc, it will give you a list of all those stuff,

Then you hit your Space & S keys, it will cut the list down to:
"Free Soda" "Free Stuff Cuz Im A Scrubba"

ETC, well, this is what i want, Not the URL's (Hitory Stuff)...



(But, whilst were on the subject of URLs etc)
U know how it goes URL1, URL2 etc, how does it retrive them?, how does IE know which is the last number?

any how, if u can help me wiv dat auto complete, Cool

The autocomplete is the hard part, but do you want me to write it
for you or do you just want general methods you can use to get
it?

[wpearsall]

lol,

i wanna b able to use the same stuff as IE does,

& Nah, i dont want u to write it 4 me, jst an idea how to go about doing it etc (Which i guess you did give me, N that)

tnx

OK, what you want to do is just check the enetered text. If it
matches the beginning of something, set the "seltext" property of
the text box to the remaining part of the url.

I suppose that if IE does have this autocomplete feature turned on, this should be available in your webbrowser too. These settings for the IE is stored in the registry. You might want to take a look at www.winguides.com/registry for the exact registry setting affecting this feature.

[wpearsall]

nope, its turned on for IE, but not for my browser,,,

I think the web browser control is based on IE 5.5? or IE 5.0, and Auto Complete is in both of those?

any whooze, i was jst bout to look @ Win Guides for the key

The webbrowser is always based on the version of IE present in your system. It is not tied to any specific version as such.

God knows why the little box never pops up wiv my Usernames & EMail address etc when it does in IE :\
