Hi,
I have been playing around with a simple case of using Scintilla's autocomplete. If anyone is interested in having a look, the package is attached to this message. This is my first time working with Scintilla and I was trying to isolate autocomplete from other Scintilla features ... to see how it works. The idea behind the presenter is to replace combo drop down lists and enhance single line textedits with auto complete. The only example I could find in the image was SmalltalkWorkspace and I used this class as a guide. One thing I was unsure of, was why SmalltalkWorkspace uses a timer message to trigger the autocomplete. Is this for useability reasons or implementation reasons? When I commented out the timer in the AutoCompleteTextPresenter class it still seemed to work OK. Any feedback appreciated, Steve -- Steve Waring [hidden email] begin 666 SW AutoCompleteTextPresenter.zip M4$L#!!0````(`*=-V3*+D&++7@\```PO```@````4U<@075T;T-O;7!L971E M5&5X=%!R97-E;G1E<BYP86/M6EM/&TD6?@:)_U# 2C;:8/F.[=G,KF/(!$T( M"'N"M+FIW%W&O;2[/5WM.)[-_O?]SJGJF[$#,V'V:44"[JHZ]WNUOXJY=.[D MK1)?]W:3C[WGXLI^#.1,]41I>"/ZBS@<A+.YKV(U4E_BJTAI%<0J*E4RR+G\ M\E9%V@N#GJC]L+>[,Y;:<P`VPU'@V8ID;_>UYZA @]C+2*FEC-0S<3E7P8OA MJ:A4*F(YE;'ZK"*Q"A=B*8-X;W=("^)&1EYPN[>KE_SA'^%O:B8]O^*$LXI< M[.WN[9Y]D42Q)\H2Y!U#'BP*W].Q\+30B['C2ZV5%N%$I#P=$?#.5I:%,GA) M?OI)=,"HWD!O&M#2=7OB<"L.4A$$BK3R)Y4\DK$7R&CUDQ^.I<^XP/U0Q2)0 MRQS(40'FED_W?4_J1YW7BAB)U*\+3WLQ@YR[8,N+5QDH"U"J5-[CW^7X7\J) M13^*]?O3T)]/O>#]"Q!+'DH_/ +@XNW5^U1^_?XU;)#L"7K(]/]H='D>!!8$ M+3P:^JVGEOK]T/$@N>_+%%&Z(NC$H]&-5G,E!F$`7V4!$W1KZX_&=Q&ZRM?O MWTI_D0G)3\)LE7[89N%]^GPP('\4IVKB!1ZYO3[@=4:1.7,2`]_R5M#Q`AW+ MP%%O$6QR["OKFR5G&B)^-7,D9C)VIL-81O$+/W3N2H!CW.M M#$/0__4<X@Q M[/)RJGAHBZC%.L5POH5\R8AJXD78$#!R8OEU&&IH2\73T+6K!V>!2\&>Q(*; MJL?N#Z%01PF#,0$:F"QAGK8GAMN%![N6?_KE_%1,HG VC"DS@<U_=QMG]>Y@ MT#UN=U_6CIO-ZHOC%\UN[;C:[_=;S<%9M]L?_*=TM/\M[,[#V922FA1_^UPP M\8\04GNW@7)%'(I(S7WID$?.QN%I%,Y/PZ7)B "%;C0X]A46`B4(]YGKQ?J9 M6'KQ5,13)>"ZK"ZH>[((C/U\9 Y2JIZ&2X#SN84&.]*D6FQ9/Z&ME7!D@"3D MD]N3FHBMO$@,SS*P4Y]SKL[+, 8;8)1.`Q=,# (+8CR+W5))%G!6A$&#N@0< MJ &61P*EZB"<A#AE@)GT_5CZ=S=A=*?A*JA)XP7@8P(A%<_]Q>TM.:+Q>3$F M?R?67*"(9J0\EHRJE] 4$<2=,Y61=,A.91PE#AQ$;QB)(^C7]TDN1F>D+),Y MYJ'6WMA?)79SC\1X90Q1X)KT7!%677#<4,@X5K,YK(IC.@[GF568,W8-8FJV M\&-O;DVNC:!!&*-LQE/2>PB!\0SG!O,`(O- J-1&V0DG#&()]<&Z9Y>OB9>A M,L;D&!8S#L2D?(H)!,?1Y!&&@*<1AVSUP50&MXJY9U)(Q="!YNCL[>V*8](F M3KB\/9/1+5%&=-0)9"H_DX\L/1=N"\Q548:_>+Z,:/>^?8\8(PHC8SND/N-: MQ8L(*/6<_!10$ZA5B?*"/%?KOU/&S<,LYBXZE2L5@?-(Y.#BB!TY?Q8!\&KH M1"%LODY@;_<-*_^<H@2^HQ3'!X%:R+=;(*V+`X@C@W(%M),O:%3/C('10$&T M":>,Y# Y@Q<_`V5-IV'.A>\R"^SY*1F37"GS[G\C64$7MR$E]I=AQ.ES'T7M M^-I:4!_3<3'QE._J??%M7,9O"!'G7YM*>D(.T<(H5 4*Q %4HC@=(0IV#H96 MU4G^R4<+G;%(*F*$0ZZG$5PKDZZY%R30D NS)@VR#V<$DF"%*[@'W"P6RB#1 MW,J=$2%EA#J?86@+)C'>#_02,A-%9(;89!:*[!TXT(@BTM-F%R4PR3L4D/>= MFI,5S+5S+-) -#6$8Z_@%C_^2,D[9P/+6V\>H4)^>:V"VWC:8[A9&%&6Q$<D M*RJ<K(&OP@&W7TD7^(M)8G ]>NV-(W2S5&0EL@RQ\I&:%8A0I#1 5D:)QQR MVH+(Q<$=;S)"X/3$NW<]*7IC\564"?,G#2LYLWF/2@`;K-X3XR/QM^>B^N&# M`7Q)?GH/$J>WPAFK1 I>.T3^)<&<&\\,&#L'5Y'W&3LPP("/L"J!X_86EEKR M,=8,+4?*41 A,EK1BSD%PR;$I U2!OX0U\NIPNQT2"6B[[K*[=$B#@0T1T!# MQ?4X[%$%G?R0`Y6Y`.HE-:<?]Z3CJ'F\AJ__B,.;B,3>3$4CS[E;PS<JKB>@ MK%=NL- D_*:*RCQ/U[=J+@.MK$<97(P<U#Q@9CG[=<&-2*+7]6[4,&1+D?7( MB^(1P^VW?9-\F(O1`^<8UQW"JY_-GHJUE/#'6.@$K_;$<'#^J?_+Z'(P?'5Y MP^ LP355.:):WB25J<%6-L)X)$CWC-O!,!U?A9K[->B[EB'-$!#FV08UW-.> MO$"GYWJ.(9O/L28)+:<>&B&/*[B[L16B_:P%FB>,X2@3`TIY*VG02/N;M9G= M>,:Z!N (!=XL^ZNQ&B*E%=,9L6WJ*Z=2VY'@4QB@QZ)Z([S)!O+)C0&U.=)' M.+NKI&HHMY)FP$44`05/LZ8OS"QH4F/N`-B^C%R,X6ZN=,&/*XF(!@S',KOS M4GJ ]MC08,,+J&:^A*)[>:(<V>P1A<5P?B^<7)SAT'W74Q*XOYJG,C\4"B0J M'WHM?>-103",H#-'4: (L)[X0' <&>19CL\KAH?C^V0_?$@C6]^S:Z^@^V+- MRDN.1,+NL98`4:R-:+E,B-[T'.T'I7B;%(7DV?E5Z,-L) $IGP0QLPQ882J] M=8-Q_K3]^S YFM*LY$/)=-1ILTD]"XV]OL@E=\ <4*SDF;%9@*&L@%G%$'*0 M1AT3N]\IH,>CL0:*)7>A?/2,IT$`<;;6VT)24%V@]M!F;SY(\C(2!)C6&+,K MIITM4<='6'%::F P1=-+>RQN211=O;BAH[FAG7FWTUBX1BOI&6I;B$K:O'(G M\DP`']*/''M4"?@Q':#&RI$T\'ETPZ5<(U&ALG)7C#8;@ONF\N_D1ZRQFE#G MDQ]R>>K"N8%MJ\*%;?#9C^YE?DHP+NL5D[,%X>-;LI4PSA68H7<UI\K%K0<A MLV62XV$C-=X_L+ZX$?^!=96?U8JZ;<V^@H<SUL->H5B?FHIIM$-#Y%J_4]+) MC$;/I" I[C#KSPFQT6R:)[$^0-+AE'@8AVY8V3FXD'?*^,)887KS0KKP"";> M[2*B!IH\/@&CA)]RZ6"%0TB:QKEJ_/9SZ+GB!LX6+G4I*?>I:4F?=CZFCW=* MF?&8]/W@B,S->*Z(_.$)^<"FD'O9LN]P%YPULHGDS\7;GS]=GXU^N7XCTMSY ML6I2X\>LJ]ABTLS<="GY)Q@;F*+5_\W\/S7SNBFMD;.&/%?(J&RD#\^?%UO.

Since the list content can take quite a bit of computation (in the workspace case), it's desirable not to perform it if the user is typing very rapidly, otherwise it can make user input a bit sluggish. It's certainly not essential, and you could do without it if your lists are pre-built or quick to compute. Regards Blair |

Thanks! ... this makes sense. > It's certainly not essential, and you could do without it if your lists > are pre-built or quick to compute. Yes, I tried it with a set collection of strings, without the timer, and it was very useable. Thanks, Steve -- Steve Waring [hidden email] |
