hi ya guys, hope you can give me some help here.
I am trying to create a searchable index, with a textfield at the top where you enter the record name, and a scrollable panel below that shows an alphabetical list of the record names.
no problem.
However, I want the record list to automaticaly set focus to the appropriate record name as you enter the name you are searching for,(like you have in a help topic index, for example).
So if I type the letter 'd' in the textField, the first record that begins with a d in the index is highlighted. then if I type an 'a', if there is a record name starting with "da", then this will be highlighted.
If you have any ideas on how I can go about the automatic highlight, I'd love to hear them as I don't have a clue at the moment.
Thanks.
