Hello All,
Is there a standard solution to adding history to a single-line editbox ?
-- Background:
I thought it would be nice to add a history to a single-line editbox, so I
could quickly recover previously entered lines and than apply changes.
After some googleing on the subject (win32 editbox history) and finding
nothing I just subclassed an editbox, added a listbox to it and got what I
wanted (the basics that is, lots of error-checking not (yet) done).
Only after that I realized that I had another possible source of help, this
newsgroup. :-\ :-)
So, does anyone know if there is a standard (API) solution available ? An
editbox setting I did maybe miss ?
Regards,
Rudy Wieser

A ComboBox? And EditBox is a large text field, not a TextBox...

I've just take a look at the MSDN page here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb759862(v=vs.85).as
px
but alas, could not see anything in regard to a 'custom source'.
Thanks for the attempted help though.

Hello Mr. Man-wai Chang,
> A ComboBox? And EditBox is a large text field, not a TextBox...
Nope, a single-line editbox. At least, that is what its .... grmbl ! Its
actually called an "edittext" control, not an "editbox". Maybe thats why I
got so few hits on Google. :-\ :-)
But yes, I could imagine that the same kind of method would also work for a
multi-line edittext control.
Regards,
Rudy Wieser
P.s.
My first (working!) attempt was indeed to subclass a ComboBox, but there I
had to counter-act too many side effects (like deleting a selected entry in
the listbox control also deleted the text in the edittext control) for me to
be comfortable with the result.

Scroll to the bottom of that page and look for "See also" ;-)
In short: You need to implement at least IEnumString. Then call
IAutoComplete::Init (implemented by the system) and you're done.
Good luck,

Nice of MS, hiding additional information behind a non-informational link
like that. :-\
Although, the link does only say one thing about SHAutoComplete: That page
isn't about it. <huh>
> In short: You need to implement at least IEnumString.
Why now do I get the feeling that that solution will be heavier that the one
I already created ...
So, thank you for the information but no thank you. :-)

I think the ComboBox is the closest thing to Intelli-Sense... :)

Well, I just want to have a history of previously typed lines , not
something thtas going to second-guess what I'm going to type next :-)
Regards,
Rudy Wieser
P.s.
When googeling I did find a ComboBox based Auto-complete example. It just
didn't fit my needs. I saved it anyway, just to be able to look at it if I
would get stuck with my own attempts. I didn't.

IEnumString is a very simple interface, so I'm quite sure that your
feeling is wrong. Just give it a try.
