Searching RadioList

[lllama]

I've used the Checkbox and RadioList from the 2.0 branch (actually implemented my own Checkboxlist).
I've got a pretty long RadioList, however, so it would be nice to implement some sort of search.

Could you suggest a way to implement that? Thanks in advance.

Hi @lllama, I'll think about this.
Right now I'm not sure what the best way to do this would be.

Most widgets are still very simple, I'd like to take some time and see which APIs can be improved and how widgets can be made more flexible. Searching is probably something that can be implemented for a RadioList, but also for a list of checkboxes.
So, no answer yet, but please let me know if you find other limitations.

Hi @lllama,

@gpotter2 implemented search for radio lists now: #627

Is this what you need?

[lllama]

It looks like this jumps to the entries starting with the key pressed. I was looking for a way to filter or do a more generic search but I’ve not touched that code for a long time. I believe my lost was several thousand entries long so needed full search.

Hi !
I’ve published another PR with a much more advanced search system: #758
