Hi all (and happy new year),
Having just converted some wxListCtrls in my app into virtual list controls,
I've realised that this loses the Type Ahead Search* feature that Windows
(and other os?) helpfully gives you by default.
As I plod away knocking up my own one and begin to tear out my hair (so many
edge cases, how do I reverse engineer the behaviour that windows gives me,
etc...) I wonder if:
a) there is some magic switch / class / mixin already there that I can use.
b) anyone has already written something to do this for virtual list controls
and:
i) they could give me some pointers
or
ii) they'd be willing to share it
If not, then whatever I knock up I shall happily donate to the cause (stick
it on the wiki?).
Cheers
Muz
* in case this isn't what real/more experienced GUI developers call it, what
I mean is that if you type "don" when the list has focus it will scroll to
and select the first item with a label that starts with "don".
