Hi all,
I have a few ideas, which absolutely could help me with using ultraComboEditor:
- auto complete for language diacritics - a want to just type á and get all items with á, a, ä, ...
- get list of suggested items programatically - i want to know what is first in list after i typed something
- some event for move from text field to suggested list - i want to know when user press down key
- and triple click - first click to text do classic, double click select word, triple click select whole text in text edit
Are these ideas possible in some way?

I can't immediately see any reason why this should not work. If it's not working, it may be a bug. I can't say I've ever tried it, though. I'm not sure how you would even go about typing one of these characters - there are none on an English keyboard. So I assume you have to use different regional settings. Can you post a small sample with instructions explaining how to duplicate the issue?

While there is no built-in function for this, you could easily loop through the list and find a set of matching items.

That's an unusual request. What would the purpose of this be?

I'm not sure if this is possible. Windows has support for clicking and double-clicking, but not triple clicking. You might be able to acheive this by trapping the MouseDown and using a timer to see if the clicks occur in a certain space of time. But the built-in double-click and click behavior might interfere.

Yes, you are right. I use Czech keyboard. To type some, try one of this codes: Alt+0225 {á}, Alt+0228 {ä}, ...

This should help me with feature explained like this: "User can type something like this 'dai'... than he press the down key to list for his suggested values ... but than he realized, that he want's something like 'day' ... but in the text box he has value from suggested list like 'daixyzxyz xyz'... so he press backspace, but i want get 'dai' back (backspace erase only one character)" ... just simple...
