Is it possible to enhance DropDownByIndex?

[felix_yan]

Hi All,

I don't know whether there's standard controller like DropDownByIndex but editable.

Purpose is that DropDownByIndex may contains a very long list values and difficult to find. Hence I want to make the DropDownByIndex editable and react to Enter event which will filter the list with the text.

Any suggestion on this?

Thanks and regards,

Felix

It is not possible to change the standard UI elements. Generally if your list in the dropDown is that long and you want some filter criteria, then you should probably be using a search help on an inputField instead of a DropDown. In 7.02 we also have the option of using SuggestValues property. This builds a dropDown out of the inputField as you type with the matching results from a DDic Search Help.
