webber Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I am new to autoIT and would like to try to build an "autocomplete" popup as a project. I don't necessarily want to start from scratch and am sure others have gone down this road. Links to any examples, (working or not), would be good to see. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem I can see is how the backspace works. For example, I put AutoIt and Autobot into the select, and as I typed A, u, t, o, I, etc, it was selecting AutoIt. Then I wanted to back up (to type Autobot), but when I hit backspace, nothing happens. Not really examining the code (but having an idea on how it works), I really don't know what you could do to get around this.
