MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / May 2006Autocomplete for drop down lists?
When will infopath have this basic feature??? are you saying that when you select an item from the drop down feature you want other fields to populate? It does do that if you are. > When will infopath have this basic feature??? What my users are looking for is a dropdown list that allows you to type, and as you type characters, the items in the dropdown scroll to the item with the same starting characters. For example: If I have a dropdown with a list containing Allison, Carol Almond, Shirley, Becker, John Beckwith, Mary Smith, Allison Smith, Tom As the user types... 'B' brings us to the beginning of the B's, and then types 'eckw' Beckwith, Mary would be highlighted. The current behavior is to match only the first character in the list to each cahracter that is typed. > are you saying that when you select an item from the drop down feature you > want other fields to populate?

I've tested it out, and it seems to work. Unfortuantely, I'm looking for a DropDown style, to preserve screen real-estate. Give it a try. > Has anyone found a solution to this??? |
