- Using VC++ one can click on the menu selection for "Help", select
- the "C/C++ Language" from the subsequent list of help choices and then be
- presented with a "Search" window. As a character is typed into an edit
- box, a corresponding list box is filled with an alphabetically sorted list
- of potential topics of interest. The list is further refined with each
- additional character typed into the edit box, or the entire list is replaced
- if the edited characters are deleted and a new starting character is typed.
-
- I'd like to understand what technique is used to present and control this
- sort of query from the user. Is it a combination of a single line edit control
- and a list box or does some control exist that already implements this sort
- of behavior?
-
- Thanks for any thoughts.
