Description Bud Tidd 2004-09-19 19:47:51 UTC 
When you want to create a new invoice there is  
no automatic search function for entering the 
company name.  Instead, you have to go through the 
very inconveninet select process. 
 
Is there a way to automate the search function 
by enabling text input into the employee and 
company boxes so that if the name or first part 
of the name is known the box can be autofilled? 
 
Thank you, 
Bud Tidd

This is waiting for someone to donate a Gtk Phrase Wheel widget in C.  See:

http://lists.gnucash.org/search/index.php?terms=phrase+wheel&archive=gnucash-user&month=12&year=2003&span=4&abstract=on&boolean=AND&case=insensitive

In particular,

Once someone donates the widget in C I'll gladly change the interface to use it.

I'll claim ownership.  Changed to business component.
