Maintain focus on incremental search

[erp84]

Hello everyone!

My question pertains to incremental searches using a text box.

On my form I have a text box, and a list box. The list box contains my record set, and the text box allows for incremental searching of my records. So far it works great, except I need to "Tab" or "Enter" to get focus of the record highlighted in the list.

Any suggestions how to get focus as soon as it moves to the next match? Right now I'm refreshing several text boxes and labels in the InteractiveChange of the list box. These text boxes just contain additional data about the selected record.

Thanks!

I actually figured it out, sometimes it helps to key out your thoughts I guess.

What I ended up doing was just setting focus to the listbox when it selected a match, and immediately back to the textbox to allow for additional search characters.

So for this is working fantastic, much more smooth than the built in incremental combobox.
