HTML Widgets; widget.UI.DBCombo; Better handling of filtering and keyboard control

The DBCombo Widget control (used for data-entry such as the "Owner" User on the Log Edit form) has been updated to better handle filtered out items in the list and how the cursor keys move between these values as outlined below:

  • If a DBCombo contains more than 10 items, a "Type to filter list" box appears at the top of the list
    • This can either be clicked in or tabbed to
  • Entering a value in the box filters the list
  • Pressing cursor down will now re-focus on the textbox portion of the control, meaning that the cursor keys can then be used to move up and down the list
  • Previously, "filtered out" items in the list were not excluded from cursor control, therefore, the selected row in the list would appear to disappear when moving to filtered out rows

NOTE: This same change applies to DBCombo controls in finPOWER Connect Cloud, e.g., Report Parameter entry.
