Fitler as you type, combobox

Please help if you can, I have a function that does the
filter as you type working, where it scrolls to the postion in the
list. But if I arrow down or Enter, it jumps back to the beginning
of the list.
public function positionVendor ():void {
var txt:String = varVendor.text;
var srch:String;
for (var sInt:int;sInt < vendorListArray.length;sInt++) {
srch = vendorListArray[sInt].label.substr(0,txt.length);
if (srch.toUpperCase()==txt.toUpperCase()) {
varVendor.open();
varVendor.dropdown.scrollToIndex(sInt);
//varVendor.selectedIndex=sInt;
break;

Making a text box expand as you type into it?

I was wondering if it is possible to make a text box (or any kind of box) expand as you type into it. Currently the box does not have a caption, I simply want to allow the value box to expand as i type into it. It would also be great if it would expand to another page...does anyone know if this is possible and if so how can i do it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and, yes, that is a mess x about 17.   The good news is I didn't design it -- the bad news is I got tagged to try and fix it.
I'll try to answer in order:
You haven't used any subforms so it's not going to work as-is.
                    I don't think whoever did the initial form knew about the subform issue so no provisions made for them.
I won't have time to look at it closely until tonight. Some questions/comments in the meantime:
Do you really need 2 master pages - does that block need to be at the bottom of each page? Or is it just supposed to follow everything else.
                     the information is to be on the bottom of every page -- clients/workers need to sign each page to prove they have read the information
You've used tables to do a lot of the layout - probably not a good idea.
                              if we need to dump the tables, that's fine - I looked at the 7_Questions_Flowing.pdf from another thread and I can make it work
                              the way it needs to with the information in a header but they WANT it as a footer.
You've made the Content Area the full size of the page, better to size it what you want your margins to be.
                                ok, that should be the easy fix of the batch
You have no master subform (or any at all for that matter...)
                             my problem was I couldn't find a way to add a master subform that didn't give me that message. If I couldn't get that
                              one to work without the error message then none contained within would either ??

How can I disable "search as you type" in Finder windows?

I have used OS X since it first came out and have upgraded to each version since then. I am now on Lion. I have endured "search as you type" for as long as it has been a "feature" and I must say that I am fed up with it, mainly because it slows me down. It makes the computer "get in my way," which is the very anathema Steve Jobs sought to destroy with Apple. My Mac should be a friendly tool that doesn't get in my way. Most of the time it is, but not when it comes to Finder searches.
Toward that end I wish to disable "search as you type" (or whatever the offical name for it is). More specifically, I want to disable it in the search bar in the upper right corner of Finder windows.
I don't care about the Spotlight menu in the menubar, as I never use that and don't want to train myself to use it. And I refuse to use an alternative search utility to Spotlight. I want to use the search field in the upper right corner of Finder windows, AND NOTHING ELSE. But at the same time, I want to kill "search as you type." I want to be able to type as fast or slow as I like and have my computer not search for anything at all until I hit RETURN. I don't want to argue about it. That is the way I want it. And again, I don't want to use a 3rd part utility, no matter how glorious some people may say they are because I stubbornly want to use the search bar atop every Finder window EXCLUSIVELY.
Therefore, is there some Terminal hack to accomplish this feat? If so, what is it?
Many thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing your solutions.

Having posted the initial question more than 1 week ago now, I must say that I am quite shocked and dismayed that not a single experienced individual among us in these forums has the knowledge to even approach my question! Not even a reply to say "it cannot be done"! Forgive me for being brash. But is everyone on vacation? Or does no one know? Or is everyone truly apathetic toward the existing functionality?
If our computers were so lightning fast that "search as you type" was instantaneous (i.e., displayed results a 50ms or so, and faster than I could notice such that my fingers were not slowed down at all as I type), I wouldn't have taken time to write about this. But I put forth the initial question because of the inherent slowness of "search as you type" and therefore I wish to know how one would go about disabling it on an OS level (i.e., without having to resort to a third party app).
I look forward to your insightful replies!
Thank you.

Does ECC 6.0 Provide a Search-as-you-type Enhancement for Sold-To Party Field?

In our quest to continually simplify the creation of sales orders, I would like to know if SAP has provided any way to simplify the search and entry of the customer sold-to or ship-to party. What I am looking for is a way to enter the customer's name (or other customer search criteria such as city) in a single field and have it search-as-you-type. This is also known as instant search, auto-complete and auto-suggestion.
We would like to eliminate the clicks it takes to use the standard F4 search help.
One of our internal developers has created a web-based (.NET) application that brings in SAP data for writing sales orders for a specific segment of our business. This tool allows you to find the ship-to party by typing in the customer's state, city, zip, address or name in the Ship-To field. The instant search feature narrow's the list down as you type. What he has done is written SQL to concatenate the customer name, customer number and address information, and then provided a search-as-you-type feature on top of this.
Fictious Example of concatenated data (State, City, Customer Name, Address, Zip, SAP Customer Number):
WA Seattle, Home Depot, 11616 Aurora Ave N, 98133, 18394978
Typing any of the above information in the field will search for matches and bring back results as you type.
I would like to know if ECC 6.0 has any similar feature that can be used in VA01 to accomplish the same thing.
Thank you.

I don't have access to the code our developer used but again, I am referring to a .NET browser-based application. We extract a subset of SAP data using Attunity (say, every hour) and the SAP data is stored in a separate SQL Server database. This database is used by a few browser-based applications we have developed. For example, we have an application that allows external customers or internal employees the ability to look-up the status of an order. The first thing you enter is the customer. In some cases, this may be the Ship-To. In other cases, the Sold-To. The user can simply enter some part of the customer and records are searched for a match, as you type. In our case, the lookup is occurring in SQL Server, not directly in SAP. The developer took a simple approach of using some SQL query magic (it may be in a SQL Server Stored Procedure), to concatenate the relevant customer information that most people use to lookup a customer - Customer Name, Address, Customer Number. So as you type, this entire concatenated string is searched and the list of potential "hits" is narrowed as you type.
The paradigm is similar to Google's Search as you type (SayT), which you can read about here:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/11/3152186/google-search-as-you-type-instant-results-merchants
http://code.google.com/p/search-as-you-type/
Or auto-complete: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/106230
This is nothing new in the web commerce world.
I was told by an SAP rep that there might be an enhancement in SAP ECC (SAPGUI Desktop) that could do something similar. However, I never heard back from him and was wondering if anyone else had heard of something.
This is another example of how it seems SAP has fallen behind in their UI and search capabilities; and they need to catch-up. For those of us that have used SAP for many years, F4 seems straight forward and we sometimes don't understand why so many users don't also find it simple. The answer is, other vendors have made it more simple and with the consumerization of apps, SAP needs to get there.

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here.

I unchecked "Check spelling as you type" but Firefox still underlines words in cut-and-pasted text in some web apps. How can I stop it from doing this?

I'm using an online web mapping application that has input boxes for descriptive text and stuff like that. Sometimes I copy blocks of text from a word processing app into these input boxes because I can format the text in the wp. When I paste the text blocks, Firefox does the wiggly red underline on words it doesn't know. I've already turned off "check spelling as you type" but this doesn't make a difference. I don't want Firefox to check spelling on these text blocks that I copy and paste. Sometimes I need to capture screen images of these text blocks in the mapping application and I want them to look clean. Thanks.

Does "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick when this happens?
You can consider to disable the spell check underline by setting the ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle pref to 0 (zero) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

"completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work for sql file

Hi there,
Just updated to 3.1 on my Mac Lion. It's very likely a bug since it used the work with 3.0.
I have a "temp.sql" file where I store several queries. I start SQL Developer, open "temp.sql", connect to a DB but "completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work anymore.
If I click in "Unshared SQL Worksheet", the new worksheet tab will work fine with completion and change case, but I want to use my temp.sql and save things there when closing the application.
To reproduce yourself the issue:
Open SQL Dev, connect to a DB (it will open a worksheet), do some queries and check that change case and completion are working, quit SQL Dev, but save the worksheet in a sql file before. Re-open SQL Dev and open the sql file. Connect to the same DB and try to change the queries or create another. Completion and change case won't work anymore.

Well, it's partially working, if your sql file is big (like mine), say with more than 1000 lines, then, maybe because of memory usage, the automatic completion won't work as expected, though, sometimes, after a while, crtl-space would stil work.
So, the problem may have been addressed, but I believe this feature can be definitely improved.

Is there a way to have what used to be called "Macros" (a small blurb that you type repeatedly over and over)?

Is there a way to have the use of what we used to call "Macros" which would be a key you could hit where you have installed a word, phrase, etc that you type repeatedly? By this I mean if, while on line, you repeatedly type out the phrase "Thank you very much for your attention to this matter"....you could hit a key (like maybe F5 or something similar) that would automatically type this phrase out so you don't have to type it over and over and over again.

Does firefox 4 have the 'feeling lucky' google search feature when you type phrases into the URL bar? ATM it goes to google where i then have to click on website.

if i type simply phrases in to the URL bar (i,e bbc) it use to take me directly to www.bbc.co.uk. but now in firefox 4, it seems to go to google.co.uk instead displaying all the searched items. I then have to click on the link i want.
Is there any way of enabling this?

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

Check spelling as you type + pasted text.

With the "Check spelling as you type" enabled, if you were to copy some text from another window / application and paste into a "new message" window, the spell checker does not check it.
Originally this was not a problem as pressing "Command + ;" (semi-colon) would search forward for the errors - but this does not seem to work in Mail v2.
The only solution I have found so far is to press "Alt + Right Arrow" to move between the words.
Regards,
Craig
PS: Yes I know about the spell checker window... but I cant get along with it (don't know why).
PowerMac G5 (quad) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Look at this a little more, it seems that the
Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling
menu item is disabled... I presume this needs to be enabled for it to work like it used to (skip to the next word which is incorrectly spelt)

You know that bar that you type in a website, mines gone. How do i get it back?

I'm missing the bar at the top where you type in at the website you want to go to.

1. Open Safari.
2. Click on the 'view' menu at the top of the page.
3. Click on 'show toolbar'.
