Incremental search

[PaulG.]

As the number of records gets larger the more difficult it is for an operator to find an exact filename, especially when the first 5-10 characters are the same. I would like to have incremental search, AKA autocomplete, AKA search as you type, AKA filter/find as you type, inline search, instant search, word wheeling ...

This works well in windows explorer but I find no native incremental search in LabVIEW.

I prefer the listbox. Regardless, I think incremental search should be functional in all text-based controls.

Like typing an 'n' in Windows Explorer while inside of the Programs folder to instantly scroll down to National Instruments?  Now that could be really useful.
