paged combobox

[Guest]

I remember reading recently an article that described custom comboboxes
and/or listboxes that are designed to handle large number of entries
downloaded from a database. Instead of downloading all the entries at once,
they download and show the first n entries and give the user a way to access
the other chunk of entries by clicking on "Next" and "Previous" links.
Unfortunately, I can't find this article again. Anybody knows where to find
it?

Thanks!

I think that I have a sample for that however not exact as this, however it
is basicly so easy.

Just use the "Top" in your Select String and than a when x < last.

For that you have to save the steps to (what is not in that sample) to get
back to the previous.

I hope this helps,

Thanks Cor!

The article had a really nice UI for allowing the user to access the rest of
the data. They probably had to use the OWNER_DRAW functionality. I'd like to
find the article to see their UI again, and see if they provided the code
behind it.
