[sword-devel] SBL/ETS update / J2ME / Mac

Tue Nov 21 13:04:44 MST 2006

Troy,

sorry I didn't get the time on the evening that I said.
But I defenitely will have a look this week.

Just that I understood right.
What he wants to do is some kind of incremental search means that the  
textfield fires notifications (or Events) whenever a character is  
typed and the search is updated right away, right?

Best regards,
Manfred
