Existing: Customer combobox with style set to 0 - Dropdown combo. If
user enters customer not found in list, program asks if they want to add
this name as a new customer.
Preferred: user wants Customer dropdown to be like Google search where
as he types, he sees a dropdown of possible choices matching what he's
typed so far.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

U know - sometimes - Customers ask for the Craziest SHIT!
Right???
What you describe sounds a bit like one of the controls in VFP that has
an Incremental Search!
U could do something kinda Tricky - like have a Text Box - where the
letters are Entered - and, after the 1st letter is entered - you make
that OTHER Control appear under the Text box - the control that DOES
have the Incremental Search - And kinda "feed" char's from the Text box
into the other control - and keep updating it - and in that way you MAY
be able to simulate a Control that is Similar to the Google Search thing!
Anything to make a Customer happy!!!

Hi Kurt:
This is not crazy at all :-P
People have been doing this type of controls too long, and yes, the second
control is normally a grid configured to not look as a normal grid.

I thought that has been in for a while or have I misread. You can use a
table or other choices.

You can use the AutoComplete properties of the VFP TextBox.

I have incremental search already turned on. Because this is not a
Dropdown-List box but instead a Dropdown-Combo box (to add values not
already in the list), I'll have to come up with something tricky/slick
so as to keep both features. :-)

Aaah...it was a TEXTBOX that had that control. I recalled something
like that but was looking at the combobox. I'll give this a shot.
Thanks!

If they want something that's not already in the list, how are you
supposed to guess what it is? It's presumably not like you have
Google's collection of previous searches.

Exactly. Because I was allowing "add on the fly" if it wasn't in the
list, this request became not as easy.
