There is a discussion in the forum on this .. using .Net I believe ... community.microfocus.com/.../6863.aspx

You may be interested in ths as well ... community.microfocus.com/.../307.aspx

Yes I have seen all the posts about this subject but I want the .NET solution where I can use

Autocomplete CustomSource and I can't seem to translate this to cobol.

The options are AllSystemSources, AllUrl, FileSystem, HistoryList, RecentlyUsedList, CustomSource

With CustomSource I want the listbox to be filled with data from my vision files.

Help please

THIS IS WHAT I WANT

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

   // Create the list to use as the custom source.  

   var source = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();

   source.AddRange(new string[]

                   {

                       "January",

                       "February",

                       "March",

                       "April",

                       "May",

                       "June",

                       "July",

                       "August",

                       "September",

                       "October",

                       "November",

                       "December"

                   });

   // Create and initialize the text box.

   var textBox = new TextBox

                 {

                     AutoCompleteCustomSource = source,

                     AutoCompleteMode =

                         AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend,

                     AutoCompleteSource =

                         AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource,

                     Location = new Point(20, 20),

                     Width = ClientRectangle.Width - 40,

                     Visible = true

                 };

   // Add the text box to the form.

   Controls.Add(textBox);

I saw this C# code as well and the VB code on the Internet as well. For whatever reason I cannot find a Framework 4.0 Listbox or Textbox when using NetDefGen. The process would be to use our utility NetDefGen and create a copybook that contains the methods and properties from a Framework 4.0 Listbox or Textbox. In COBOL you would use CREATE to create the control and then use Modify and or Inquire on the appropriate properties and methods

I have created the copybook using NetDefGen, thats not the problem.

My problem is translating the above to cobol.

Or if there is another way to incorporate the Auto-complete function in my programs I would like to know how.

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THIS??????????????????????????????????????
