SELECTBOX ()  Version 5.8.02

This command works similar to LISTBOX() but allows for type-ahead of the listed words.

       aa=SELECTBOX(array,first,last,row,col,height,width,prompt_string,prompt_row,prompt_col, case)
    
Example:

n=selectbox(dat,"1","25","5","5","8","60","Type here ","1","2",”1”)

Values for case are:

0 = case insensitive (default)

1 = case sensitive

2 = 'filename' sensitive - that the input  is case-sensitive based on the O/S filename case sensitivity.  That is,

Windows is case-insensitive, and Unix/Linux are case-sensitive. 

This is useful when being used to select a filename from a list

 

NOTE: This variable can be set in the config file to determine the default case value so that it does not need to be programmed on the command line.          

PFSELECTCASE=n (n = "0", "1", or "2", default=0)

 

NOTE: a space in the type-ahead keystrokes will not be accepted and will clear the entered next and move to the next selection.

NOTE: input area is the length of the  longest item in the list.

IMPORTANT:  If you SELECTBOX and Input Text and Prompt is positioned in such a way that one may overlap the other, you may

experience screen presentation issues.  Make sure they do not overlap.
