Hi everyone!

My problem is:

I have a GUI contains a listbox and a edittext.

Listbox have a array of strings:

a      
an     
able   
back   
bath   
bench  
car    
create 
common 
claim
dad    
did    
dear   
eat    
edit   
english
enable 
far    
father 
fish   
jacket
jet
kiss
gather 
get    
gun  
...

and so on

Now, i want to import a word "jacket" (for example) on edittext. i expect when i import word "j" on edittext, the listbox will display all word that begin with word "j". Similarly, when i import consecutive word, "a", (now, i'm having "ja" on edittext). the listbox will display all word that contains words "ja". and so on

Thank you so much

I do not understand, what "the keypress to be the enter key" means.

Dear Jan,

Could you explain more detail about how to use WindowsKeyPressFcn for my problem?

the contains() function can help you out here, or if you want to get fancy, regexp()

Set your callback for the 'edit' box to retrieve the strings from the list box,

and do

contains(list_box_string,edit_box_string)

This will give you a logical array, simply use that array as indexing for the strings in the listbox.

Note: You may want to save the main list under a variable to be called when edit box is empty, so that you preserve it and it doesnt get lost when you change the string of the listbox.

Let me know if this helps or if you need more clarification.

Nope, Chinese. But my parents are from there so vietnamese culture is heavily a part of mine!

UNTESTED!!!

function yourGUI
StrList = {'a', 'an', 'able', 'back', 'car', 'create'};
H.Fig   = figure('Position', [100, 100, 400, 600], ...
    'KeyPressFcn', @myKeyPress);
H.Input = uicontrol(H.Fig, 'Style', 'edit', 'Position', [10, 550, 200, 30], ...
    'Enable', 'inactive', 'String', '');
H.List  = uicontrol(H.Fig, 'Style', 'listbox', 'Position', [10, 10, 200, 530], ...
    'String', StrList, ...
    'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);  % Max-Min > 1: Multiple selections allowed
guidata(H.Fig, H);
end
function myKeyPress(FigH, EventData)
H   = guidata(FigH);
Str = get(H.Input, 'String');
StrList = get(H.List, 'String');
Match   = find(strncmpi(Str, StrList, length(Str)));
switch edata.Key
  case 'return'
      % If only 1 string in the string list is matching,
      % RETURN copies it to the edit field:
      if numel(Match) == 1
          Str = StrList{Match};   % [EDITED]
      end
  case 'backspace'
     if ~isempty(Str) 
         Str(end) = [];
     end
  case 'delete'
      ... ???
  % case Arrow keys?!
  otherwise
     c   = EventData.Character;
     if ~isempty(c)
       Str = [Str, c];
     end
end
set(H.Input, 'String', Str);
Match = find(strncmpi(Str, StrList, length(Str)));
set(H.List, 'Value', Match);  % Select all matching strings in the list
if isempty(Match)             % Move fiorst selected string to top
    set(H.List, 'ListBoxTop', 1);
else
    set(H.List, 'ListBoxTop', Match(1));
end
end

This function was written inthe forum's editor and not checked. It is thought only to demonstrate, how the KeyPressFcn of the figure can be used to emulate an edit field with running a callback after each keystroke.

Dear Jan .

It's not work.

this is all my code:

function varargout = Tudien2(varargin)

% TUDIEN2 MATLAB code for Tudien2.fig
%      TUDIEN2, by itself, creates a new TUDIEN2 or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%
%      H = TUDIEN2 returns the handle to a new TUDIEN2 or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      TUDIEN2('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in TUDIEN2.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      TUDIEN2('Property','Value',...) creates a new TUDIEN2 or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before Tudien2_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to Tudien2_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
%      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
%      instance to run (singleton)".

    set(handles.listword, 'ListBoxTop', 1);
else
    set(handles.listword, 'ListBoxTop', Match(1));
end

And matlab returns:

Dear Jan, matlab hasn't returned the error. But, my GUI didn't work as i expect.

Perhap, i described wrong that i expect.

Actually, i only want as:

when i type "j" on editbox, my GUI (or Matlab) take "myselection" to first word of word group that presents all word that start with "j" (jacket, jab, jabber, jar, juba, jube, jubile....), and for consecutive word, for example, "u", (we have "ju"). Again, my GUI (or Matlab) take "myselection" to first word of word group that presents all word that start with "ju" (juba, jube, jubile...) but don't visible off other word on the listbox. It seems like a dictionary.

You can see picture below. (my picture shows two cases, left - hand for typing "j" and right - hand for typing "ju"

Thank you so much. Jan.

Hope to see your reply and forgive me for mistakes to my English.

My code should behave almost the same. If you type "ju", all strings in the list starting with "ju" are selected. When only one selection is matching, pressing ENTER wil copy it.

I cannot post exactly matching code, because I do not see the original code and the GUI. But I assume, the shown methods should be sufficient to allow you to apply the required modifications.
