Chris4, thank you for the example but that is exactly what "intellisense" means... And with that you have seemed to have missed the point of my reply a bit and thus haven't replied without anything new. You can not have a "small list of contacts" when you have like 200 contacts on your list.
I posted that example....
Yes but "a" starts with 200 contacts................"ab" goes to 170.............."abc" goes to 30 contacts............."abcd" goes to 10 contacts..........etc etc.........
yes, I know you posted that example, but I said that that example is exactly what "intellisense" means... so I don't need that example (twice now) to know what you meant.
As such you haven't replied with anything I or others didn't know yet. Again, the point I was trying to make is that you can not have "a small list with contact" when you have like 200 contacts starting with the letter "a". 200 contacts is not a small list yet and if you suggested to show that in a "small" window, it is contradicting. I'm not saying the idea is bad, I was commenting that you also need to consider when or how the "small" window is shown. It doesn't matter if the number of items gets smaller when you type more of the emailadress, the initial number of items is too big to be shown entirly in a window. A window with a list of 200 contacts would be almost as big as your entire screen if you want to show them all...
I don't think he actually means to display all of them. It could work if you limit the list to, for example, 10 contacts at a time. Then when you type "a" it would get the first 10 contacts beginning with a and display them. Then when you type the next letter, e.g. "b" it would remove any that don't begin with "ab" and try to fill the list again but only up to a maximum of 10.
Maybe referring to it as intellisense is a bad idea, more like Google Suggest or something along those lines (well maybe not like Suggest because that's based on popularity, but you get the idea (i hope
)).
