I want to have an auto-completing textbox like the one in the image below:
This screenshot is from an accounting software. Whenever the user focuses on a textbox and starts typing something, the suggestions just pop up under the control (as seen in the image under the Purc type textbox). This auto-suggest functionality even works in the cells of the grid shown in the picture. Moreover, the fields in which this auto-suggest is enabled allow only values from the auto-suggest list to be filled up and nothing else.
I want to emulate similar functionality in my app in VB6. Any ideas on how to implement auto-completing textbox in VB6?
Checkout the AutoComplete Text Box at FreeVBCode.com.
Another option is at VBNet. The article shows how to use shlwapi.dll api.
What I've typically done is do what is included in the project link by C-Pound Guru. Take a TextBox and as the user types into the field have a ListBox fill with results matching the text. The ListBox would by default be hidden but will be made visible when text is entered into the field. When the ListBox is clicked then simply update the TextBox with the ListBox's selected item text then hide the ListBox control again. A quite simple routine to complete.
VBAccelerator is an excellent site for VB6 tips - try their AutoComplete sample

I need an idea, please. I have a Details form which shows the fields of a model (about 10 fields in all). There are three modes in which I could show this view - in mode "Edit", in mode "New" (which, of course, is like an edit but without values), and in mode "View" (no changes allowed, just labels).
I could of course create three Details pages, one for each mode, and call them selectively, but I would like to have just one and pass the "DocumentMode" parameter to it. That View should bind to that mode and selectively show/hide controls, probably like "DocumentMode = VIEW => Show labels" or "DocumentMode = EDIT => Show Entry or Editor, show DatePicker, TimePicker, etc".
My question is this: How do I show/hide these groups of controls depending on the DocumentMode parameter ? Which would be the best way to do this ? I could probably bind the "IsVisible" property to my documentMode parameter, but I think that is a really ugly solution (and I assume that regardless of whether the controls are used or not in a specific mode, they will all be loaded anyway).
Thank you.

I think you can use a Listview or Collectionview to represent your data because you mentioned that you have 10 fields.
In addition, you said you need a "new" button, so you can set it at the top of the app as a button, when you click the button then you jump to another page which is blank and you can add the data.
This must refer to the shell you may need to set a navigation.
Then the "view" and the "edit" you can use the property SelectionChanged to control the item, I mean when you click the item in collectionview, the SelectionChanged method can be triggered and turn to another page which can show the detail about the item you clicked. In the page you can view and edit the data.
Here are some articles you might be able to use: Listview, Collectionview, Shell
If you have more information to add, please kindly share with me.
We use CRM 2016 SP1 on-premise. We are experiencing an issue with the size of the To field of the built-in email View form whereby the field only displays up to three lines of email addresses and truncates the rest.
I know that I can click the list and scroll it in the Edit form, but this is not an option in the View form.
Is there any way to get the To field to expand/scroll in the View form?
This is product limitation to show maximum 3 rows. But you should see scroll bar to look at all other recipients.
Another option is click on Lens icon & inline Lookup window will open, if you scroll all the way down - you can see Look up More Records, click it. This will open Lookup popup where 5 lines of recipients will show, where you can add/remove in bulk.
Update:
It seems your issue is with Closed activities, this form may be limited for customizations. Try Print (Ctrl+P) to see whether all the recipients are showing.
Just started using Webix in my study project.
Definitely enjoy it, but wondering if there's a way to make text field in the combo control non-editable and leave the possibility to pick values? Or I've missed something? Help!
You should use RichSelect control (Non-editable Combo Box ('richselect')).
See a sample here: http://docs.webix.com/samples/13_form/01_controls/11_richselect.html
I would kindly ask for your help :) From couple of days I am trying to achieve "linked" custom field in content editor and dropdown in page editor.
Basically I want to have dropdown in page editor and content editor which are responsible for a same thing.
In my c# code i have enums which represent directions. I created custom field which accepts assembly and class with overridden onload method and successfully populate dropdown values in the content editor. So far so good but i have no idea how to create dropdown which will represent the same functionality inside page editor.
So please give me any ideas...
Judging from your reply to my comment you need to think of the following: How is my field value being rendered onto a page?
If you are always using 1 control to do this then you just need to ensure that this control has 2 different rendering modes depending on the Context.PageMode
But as I understand it you want this dropdown to also appear when someone renders your custom field using a <sc:FieldRenderer>. In this case you'll need to look into the RenderField pipeline of Sitecore. There you find a processor called RenderWebEditing. Possibly through some manipulation here you can get your dropdown appear as you wish.
We are using Kendo UI grid to display some records. The requirements need us to have a column (Say "File Name")shown as a text box when the user clicks on "Edit".
However, when user clicks on the "Create" button in the toolbar, the same column should be replaced with a File Select control which will allow the user to select a file from his machine. The other columns remain the same.
I have already tried searching through Stack Overflow as well as the Kendo UI Grid forums, but to no avail.
Is there any way to achieve this? Any pointers will be of great help.

Using different editor templates for create/edit is not supported. You need to use the edit event of the Grid to change that text input to file input with JavaScript. To distinguish between edit and create you can use the isNew() method of the model.
i.e.
edit:function(e){
if(e.model.isNew()){
//replacement logic
}
}
