Searchfield with autocomplete?

[cu3e]

Hello, I want to create a searchable presentation app. The app contains 10 slides. I want to use tagwords for some slides.
For example SLIDE 5 has the tagword "processing". When I type into the search field "pro" the autocomplete should Identify or guess
my word and should suggest me "processing" (since there is a slide with that tagword) When I now click on that processing word, the
correct Slide 5 will be shown.

Ist that possible in Livecode?

If yes, is there a trainer I can book so I can learn how to programme it or a freelancer who would programme the basis?

Thank you!

Yes you can do that.. I believe someone had written an auto-complete combo box..

In its simplest form, this isn't hard to do.

Create a list of all the keyword tags and store them as a custom property called "cTags" of the field. Then put this script into the text entry field:

Code: Select all

on rawKeyUp pKey
  put me into tString
  if tString <> "" then
    put the cTags of me into tLookups
    filter tLookups with (tString & "*")
    put tLookups into fld "suggestions"
  else
    put "" into fld "suggestions"
  end if
end rawKeyUp

Provide a second field named "suggestions" where the found matches can be displayed. Or you can just put the matches into a variable and do something else with it.

I do, but I'm pretty booked up right now. But you can use the email address in my signature to drop me a line and we can talk.
