✨ NAME ✨

d_text_list_proc — it's a dialog procedure that implements a list box object with type ahead. Part of the Allegro game programming library, periodt. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int d_text_list_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);

that's it, that's the whole signature, no cap 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So like, it's d_list_proc... but make it ✨extra✨. Same energy as the regular list box, except it lets the user literally type in the first few characters of a listbox entry, and boom — that entry gets selected. Type ahead. Chef's kiss. 😌👌

⚠️ okay important, lowkey crucial, do NOT skip this: it uses dp3 internally. That means you mustn't store anything important there yourself. It's taken. It's booked. It's not yours, bestie. 🙈
