DataList Control won't match user's keystrokes when list too long
I Have a DataList Control on my form, which has a 1000 or so
lines from the RecordSet. I want it to use extended matching so
that when a user types a few letters while on the control, the
next matching line on the list will be selected.
Now, a DataList Control has a property just for that - I set
MatchEntry to dblExtendedMatching and it works, but it would only
match an entry if it within the next 50 or so lines.
My guess is, this has to do with some sort of paging mechanism
inside DataList, which prevents the entire 1000 lines from
loading into memory, but isn't the whole point of matching to
help the user navigate through long lists?
Any insight in the matter will help. And thanks in advance.
