Reg: WebCombo with Scanner Issue
posted

Hi, 

We are using the "Type Ahead Webcombo" control in our web application.We are loading the items in the combo based on the characters typed in the typable area of the combo. We will load 20 items initially and when the user starts typing we will load the items beginning with the typed characters. I have altered the initialize_datasource event of the Webcombo. Normally this will load all items but we have modified it so that it loads only the top 20 records which begin with the typed characters. This method of data filtering works fine while typing slowly.When we type the values fast and press tab then the previous value remains as it is in the combo. In our application we are instead of typing setting the values from read from barcode scanner. This is even faster firing and hence the values are not set properly in the combo only the old value remains. Please help us in solving the issues due to fast data entry in the combo.

Thanks in Advance,

Giridhar.J.G

    Silly question, but if you are using a barcode scanner that does not need the same user-intervention that a normal type-ahead does. Why go to the trouble and overhead of using the combo box.
