In ajax drop down control, If we AutoCompleteMode="SuggestAppend", whatever the words typing, respective data will be loading. For example If user typing "Ch", words starting with "Ch" will be loading like Chennai, Chimbaram, China etc., User will not be allowing to edit but allowing to select from the listed ones.
In the same way, What is the property to set for Infragistics "Webdropdown" Control ?
Please guide me
Hi gemsoft1997,
Thank you for posting in the community.
You can achieved the desired filteting functionality by setting the EnableAutoFiltering property to either server or client. A sample illustrating this setup is available at:
http://samples.infragistics.com/aspnet/Samples/WebDropDown/Organization/FilteringAutocomplete/Default.aspx?cn=drop-down&sid=c83b6738-b1cd-497c-820b-351e9227d83b
Additional information regarding autofiltering and autocomplete with WebDropDown can be found at:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2011.2/CLR4.0/
In order to only allow users to select items from the available list, you can set the EnableCustomValues property to false.
Please let me know if this helps.
In the referenced example, the _PreRender CS code does not compile because the .CurrentValue is set to four double-quotes. What is the proper value to assign?
ddServerFiltering.CurrentValue = """";
Additionally, my list is not filtering as I type and I'm not able to determine why. The datasource is set via CS code and I'm using 20111.2135
<ig:WebDropDown ID="WebDropDownGroup" runat="server" Width="300px" AutoPostBack="True" onselectionchanged="WebDropDownGroup_SelectionChanged" EnableAutoFiltering="Server" EnableAutoCompleteFirstMatch="False" OnPreRender="ddServerFiltering_PreRender"></ig:WebDropDown>
