Auto Highlight in scroll Region

sadgun

Hi,

I have a GUI in which a scroll region displays the many layer purpose pairs as shown in the fig. 

  

Here instead of scrolling down and selecting a layer, I want to type the layer name in the stringField text box and automatically the layer purpose pair should get highlighted like the way it does in Virtuoso Library Manager.

I've searched the SKILL documentation regarding this, and found hiHighlightField() function. 

Can anyone suggest any method or Is it the function that serves my purpose?

Regards

Teja.

    You can only highlight fields (using hiHighlightField) for type-in fields. You'd pass it the scrollRegion, then the fieldName and (say) hicHighlight as the third arg. 

    You can use hiSetCurrentField which would scroll to the right field, but it doesn't highlight the row (for a checkbox).
