avviso: quanto segue è noioso e tecnico, ed è tradotto in inglese in modo alquanto sommario.
Argomento: in realbasic la combobox si comporta in modi molto diversi in Mac e windows (non ho ancora provato con Linux, vedrò di provare presto)

Uso Realbasic. E’ uno strumento di sviluppo che permette di creare applicazioni per Mac, windows e Linux.

Ritengo che ci sia un problema, che non sia una particolarità. Lo spiego qui sotto.

English abstract:

Combobox problem (or bug?) in RealBasic

I create a combobox -with autocomplete (but this doesn’t matter)
I set an action on the change event
I build Mac and windows version
In the mac version, typing creates a change event
In the windows version, typing doesn’t

User can :
Type completely the item
Type partially the item and select it with arrow keys
Exit from the combobox with enter
Exit form the combobox with tab

in windows version change event doesn’t occur, in mac version does!
In windows CHANGE event occurs only after a mouse click
(even, it does NOT occurs, if I type come character and, after I typed, I click the item, user must NOT use the keyboard…)

And finally, This in not common behaviour in windows applications!

This is a serious problem. A tool as RealBasic should be created on the solid basis of a human interface.
I should be sure that intarface is the one I see developing, (and the most common for end users)
