Drop-edit Combo (DC)


Description
Used to select from a large list of names (generally in alphabetical order). You can click to select, or type in the leading letters to scroll the list quickly to the first name beginning with those letters. The text is not restricted to the entries in the lookup list.

Text – should be a simple text vector (typically starts null).

Lookup – is an alphabetic list (nested vector).

On pressing <Enter> with a partial entry, the combo completes it for you and selects it. A further <Enter> confirms this, and is passed on to the <OK> button to close the dialogue.
