Still trying to "port" my VBA application to REALbasic (it's available at
www.greektranscoder.org if anyone is interested). Since I'm learning the
language I would like to start by porting the application as it now stands,
even if later on I may decide to change many things once I'm more familiar
with RB's own features.
First get it working, then polish it.
I use comboboxes in my VBA program. Sometimes I allow the user to enter
custom values ("expert mode"). Most of the time I do not. In VB you can set
a property, "matchrequired", to true or false to toggle that behavior.
There does not seem to be anything close in RB.
I'm getting ready to implement a small function that will try to match the
current entry with one of the initial values and reject or accept it
depending on the circumstances.
Or to switch between popupmenus and comboboxes, again, depending on the
circumstances.
However, I do not want to reinvent the wheel, so if there is a property or
function I've missed that already does this please enlighten me.
In the same vein, in VB, one can have several columns in a combobox: it does
not seem possible in RB. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance,
