matchentry property doesn't work

[lazybum]

I'm new to using Macs and have no idea why some things work on a PC that don't work on the Mac. This is another one of those times. I can't get the matchentry property to work on a Mac combobox. I have it set to match complete entry, but, when I type a letter in the combobox, that letter appears, but nothing else happens. The combobox doesn't use that letter to match any of the items on the data that the combobox references. The items are all there however, because I can scroll through them with the arrows. Any ideas?

Never used MatchEntry myself. You can solve the first part of the problem by setting ComboBox.Style = fmStyleDropDownList (Properties Window).

As for the rest of it, I have no help. I set up a test ComboBox. With .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete, the best I can do is get it to match the first letter, but even that stops working after hitting enough keys.

I have a feeling that you might be out of luck with this one.
