Can someone answer a few questions about popups in FPW26?
1. How to create quickfill capability (or a way to go through the list using
the keyboard)?
2. How to leave control on [enter] key press?
3. How to add "on-the=fly" adding of fields when drop-down does not contain
the needed value?
TIA,

I wrote an article in the July 1995 FoxPro Advisor magazine which
showed how to do QuickFill in textboxes. You might be able to adapt the
technique to work with lists.

Ed,
Your article has my interest.
I was doing other things in 1995 and do not have that issue or access to it.
Is there anything you can forward me to help.

Dan:
1. Not sure what *quickfill capability* is...But you can go through the list in
FPW26 by pressing a key on the keyboard to position the list. It's like an
incremental search in VFP6.
2. In the valid to the control enter:
_curboj = objnum(next_control) &&next_control is the variable of what
control is to receive the focus
show get next_control &&select that next control to receive focus
3. if the drop down doesn't have what the user needs you can provide the user
with an *other* field; the valid to the *other* text box can then manipulate an
array which feeds the drop down. Something like this...
dimension some_array(alen(some_array) + 1) &&array made larger by one; drop
down is populated by array *some_array*
some_array(alen(some_array)) = text_box_value &&equate new subscript with text
box value for *other*
hold_value = text_box_value &&save this value to later position drop down
text_box_value = "" &&empty text box
show get text_box_value &&show the empty value in the other text box
=asort(some_array) &&rearrange the array so it is sorted (if you wish)
var_for_drop_down = ascan(some_array, hold_value) &&position drop down with new
value
show get var_for_drop_down &&refresh the drop down
