Subject:RE: Is there an "official" term for this process? From:Jim Cort <jcort -at- totaltel -dot- com> To:"'techwrites'" <TECHWR-L -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 15 Dec 1999 15:43:54 -0500
I'm working on a system right now that uses this kind of function. The
programmer called it an incremental search.

When you invoke Help in a Windows application, most
times you get a three-tabbed window and one of the
tabs is called Find.
This window is divided into three sections.
What I need the name for is the following process:
Start typing in the first field. As you enter letters
in the first field, the selection on the list in the
second field gets reduced to match with what is being
typed in the first field.
What is the name for this "process"?
Thanks
