DataField lookup in Designer

rbuser

Is there a way to enable sequential searching the in the DataField lookup?
In prior versions, hitting the first character of the field name would take
you to the field name in the list.

Thanks,
Perry

RB 11.04 restores support for this feature.

I created a query on the Customers table in the DBDemos data. From the
Design workspace, I create a DBText and then I can select the DataField list
on the Edit Toolbar and type 'Co' and it select the Company item.

I tried it with your Demo project and all I get is a beep when I press any
key. I'm using Delphi6, if that makes a diff.
Thanks,

If you place the mouse inside the edit box and type, then it will work.

Do /not/ click the down arrow to expand the list. If you click the down
arrow and then type, it will not work - you will receive beeps.

OK, that works, but that's not how it was in prior versions.

Starting with RB 10 we re-wrote much of the UI and started using the
TB2000/TBX controls which introduced the Office style
toolbars/menubars/docking etc. and the support for themes/skins. We also
updated all of the icons and introduced icons for the menus and popup menus.
For RB 11 we continued to upgrade the UI adding new themes and expanding the
support for them. Overall a huge leap forward. However the combobox control
works a little differently - and yes it's kind of annoying I agree. Have
researched it in the past but not found a solution.
