Hello,
[Quoted] I need to substitute the standard ORACLE Forms 4.5 LOV with a kind of LOV [Quoted] that is usually used in each Microsoft Help (and in Developer/2000's Help too) - search by index. I heard that this search is called "type ahead". The point is : if you type several letters in a text box you'll see immediately the list of items in a multiple line box and the first item in [Quoted] this list starts with these letters. So, list of item is immediately changed [Quoted] according to new typed letters in the text box. In Visual Basic we can create such a search using the events KeyDown or KeyPress.
Is it any triggers in Forms 4.5 that fire on Key Down or Key Press ( I mean letter Key on keyboard) ?
[Quoted] I couldn't find such a trigger and used the repeated timer, but I had some [Quoted] difficulties and was not satisfied with the result. Has anyone had experience in doing this ? If someone can help me I would be really appreciated.
