Combo box entry restraining
Posted: Wed May 16, 2012 9:34 am
Some times you may want to restrain the user to only entering the items set in the menu part of the combo box, here is a quick little script that does that..
When the user presses a key down, the script compares the already entered text plus the new letter to the text property lines and if it is found, we pass the message along to the engine, otherwise we eat the message and nothing happens..
Code: Select all
on keyDown pKey
local tText
put CR & the text of me into tText
if (tText contains (LF & the label of me & pKey)) then
pass keyDown
end if
end keyDown
