- Hi there.
-
- I am using FoxBASE+/Mac.
-
- I am writing an application in which I would like to implement
- an incremental browse to perform a search in a large file.
- In other words, I would like to paint something similar to a browse
- window and be prompted for a string.
-
- As I type in a string, a highlighted bar would be moved to the
- record in the browse window whose key string begins with the string
- entered at the keyboard.
-
- This can be implemented quite easily with FoxPro 2.0 PC. But
- Incompatibility prevents me from porting this routine over to
- the Mac.
-
- Is anyone familiar with a similar routine that can help me perform
- an icremental browse? If so, I would sincerely appriciate any tips
- and/or techniques on implementing this.
-
- Thanks.
-
- -Randall.
-
- Incidentally, is anyone out there aware of when FoxPro/MAC will
- be released? Any news on this product?
