    Posted 07-06-2022 15:33
    Hi all,

    I thought I had this one nutted out - alas, no.

    US State Code(s) in a value list:
    AB ALBERTA
    AK ALASKA
    AL ALABAMA
    AR ARKANSAS
    AZ ARIZONA

    Dropdown widget - multi times press A to get to AL
    How to type AL and get there directly??

    Regards,
    Knut

    I believe that as long as the Sort Alphabetically property is true, this will work.
    I remember testing this a few years ago and it worked. We don't use it because we need our list to be a specific order.

    never worked this way, as far as I know
    it does not even allow the autocomplete like other softwares

    This definitely did used to work but it's some years since I tried it but you had to type fast!

    Hi all,

    I remember too this functionality working somehow during past ages in the same way as Toni as just mentioned: typing very very quickly it worked!
    It could be there should be a sort of delay parameter somewhere...probably into a Uniface INI file... [upi] section has major chances to be my target.

    I've checked back all Uniface .INIs files still in my hand looking for that "delay" parameter; I've looked into:
    - my last INI saved from Uniface 6.5.11 installation
    - my last INI Uniface 7.2.06 installation
    - my last INI Uniface 8.4.06 installation
    - my last Uniface 9.7.05 installation
    Unfortunately I did NOT find any delay parameter into those INI files.

    I hope ULabs could give us a practical solution to this request.

    Regards,
    Gianni

    Ok ya'll,

    Finally figured it out!
    I retrieve the date from the db already sorted, thus I never set the
    "Sort Alphabetically" option on the DropDown widget...

    Once the flag has been set, hey presto - it works...

    Have a great day!

    Regards,
    Knut
