Disable predictive search when creating something (Also, bug on the predictive window)

Hi,

In the ‘Part’ window, I added a predictive search for the PartNum field so I can retrieve easily a part. However, when creating a new part, the predictive search still works. The main problem is that this small window doesn,t fade until I select an option. I would want it to disappear once I lose focus on the field.

Any way to fix this bug?

Thanks

It will time out, but it takes a looong time.

I too would be interested in figuring out how to control that box a bit better.

I got some notes from Insight a while back for configuring the predictivesearch.

I am not sure if you can disable it for new parts.

There are two fields in the sysconfig file (Should be under the client installation folder and a subfolder called config)

Open the file with notepad and find the key related to PredictiveSearch.

The values are in ms.

<PredictiveSearchKeyPressDelay value="1000" />
<PredictiveSearchPopupFadeDelay value="2000" />

But that was for 10.0.7.4, not sure if they have changed since.

Thanks, the values are still there. I’ll try to change them soon and test it but it was set to 15000ms so a 15 seconds delay to fade away

It’s in the config editor too. Works great!

Even better, thanks. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to access this editor since I didn’t configured it myself

Edit: Got it. In my folder, there’s an .exe application called ConfigEditor and then you open the sysconfig file.
