The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

moving cursor at the beginning of the selection

Asked by popsickle in Visual Basic Programming

Tags:

Hi,

I made a function to search an item in a combobox while the user is typing text. I simply send the message CB_FINDSTRING to the combobox, select the item that matched by affecting the returned value in ListIndex, and select the remaining text with SelStart/SelLength. The problem is the control jump at the end of the selection. The user don't see where he is typing and it can be very confusing. What I'm trying to do is to move the cursor at the begining of the selection instead of the end as the control usually do. I tried to subclass the edit window of the combobox to set the cursor's position at the beginning of the selection while SelStart/SelLength, but the control always moves the cursor at the end. I think I will have to subclass the control permanently and watch for WM_PAINT, CB_SETCURSEL, ...  Do you have a better solution ?
