Auto-filled Text (AFT)


Description
Single-line text edit. Text var is shown in the box and updated when the user leaves the field.

Lookup var may be set to a list of valid entries. As text is typed it ‘autocompletes’ to the nearest match. The user can continue to type – the entry is not restricted to the suggested list unless Restrict is set.

Pressing Alt+Down or the button opens a list-box to pick from. If a text matrix is given, the additional columns are shown in the drop-down as reference information for the user.
