select-on-multiple-characters-time-limit

Arguments: item-list

Returns the value of the select-on-multiple-characters-time-limit property of an item-list (that is a single-item-list or a multi-item-list) control or an outline control. The value may be specified at creation time by passing the :select-on-multiple-characters-time-limit initarg to make-instance, or any time later by calling (setf select-on-multiple-characters-time-limit).

This property is used only when the associated property select-on-multiple-characters is true. In that case, the user can select a value in the list by typing the first few characters of the desired value. To select a second value in the same way, they must first wait this number of milliseconds so that the current search string is reset. The default value is 2000, requiring a two-second pause.
