Re: selecting from dialog list by typing

In this type of dialog or similar, how can I move the current selection
in the list by typing the first letter, or even better several letters,
to get to the first fitting line?:

set newStorage to (choose from list thefolders with prompt "Move to which
folders")


Is there something built into Applescript or Mac OS X I can use or do I
have to handle this on my own? Any suggestions?


You don't have to do anything; it's already built in.

I beg to disagree with that.

This script won't allow me to get green. Unless I type "gre". I guess the list is accessed from the bottom up. Need to change the spelling of green to 6-green.

tell application "Finder"
set theDefaultList to {"none"}
set theColorList to {"none", "orange", "red", "yellow", "blue", "purple", "green", "gray"}
(* 0 = none , 1 = orange, 2 = red, 3 = yellow, 4 = blue, 5 = purple, 6 = green, 7 = gray *)

set theChoice to (choose from list theColorList default items theDefaultList with title "Color Selection" with prompt "Option key to select entire folder.")
if (theChoice is false) then return -- "User canceled."
end tell
