Filename: 202526.zip
Requirements: View

This example includes a string XControl that probes the user input and checks it against a dynamic set of keywords. If what the user is typing matches a keyword, the XControl autocompletes the word and selects the remaining portion of the word. This is also known as intellisense. At that point the user can tab to accept the autocompletion or keep typing to overwrite the completed portion.

The example also includes support for various delimiters, which are characters that separate the keywords the autocomplete function searches for. For instance, if the delimiter is set to space, then the XControl only tries to autocomplete any keywords after the last space.

The XControl comes complete with support for property and invoke nodes that allow the XControl's autocomplete function to be changed dynamically at run-time, such as changing the keywords, delimiter, or turning the function on or off. The example also ships with an example VI that demonstrates the functionality of the XControl.
