Combo and List boxes

Have found that as from today I am supporting the scheduler, and immediately have identified a problem.

it has probably been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Is it possible to select text in a combo and list box, based on entering the text known to be there. Presently we use several Send Character commands to send individual characters until the correct item is highlighted.

That was fine while the contents were static, but now extra items are being added, and the macro gets out of sync.

Many thanks

Rog

Many combo and list boxes allow you to select an item by just typing the text of it. This usually performs a drill down. So often you can just send the text of the item you want.

If not you may have to go down a more complicated route and use the Win32 API.
