I'm having problems with UltraDropDowns (used in grids) since my recent upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2. I'll try to outline these issues:1) UltraDropDown (used on a grid) fields do not auto complete. When I type an "A" into the UltraDropDown, it does not suggest something starting with A to me.2) When I type in an existing value exactly (which is in the dropdown list), it does not recognise it. That is, in the grid.BeforeCellUpdate event, the dropDown.SelectedRow property is null.I have done a little searching of the forums into this, and have found some reference to an AutoCompleteMode that was added (although I'm not sure if this was added in 8.1 or 8.2). I cant find such a property for the UltrarDropDown, but I can for the UltraGrid columns. They appear to be set to "None" for every column. I have attempted to change this to "Default" for one column. After saving it, and re-opening the form, it is back to "None". It seems to be resetting itself back after I save it.
Whats going on here? Why is auto complete not working, why is it not accepting typed in values? What has changed?
I think the issue of the AutoCompleteMode being set to None is a known bug. It may already be fixed in the latest Hot Fix, so you should download it and try it out. If that does not help, you should Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support.
Thanks. I already have the latest hotfix, so I logged an incident with support.
The reply I got was less then encouraging:----SUPPORT REPLY START ----
Thank you for submitting your query with Infragistics. I would like to let you know that AutoCompleteMode does not work in reference to UltraDropDown control. Please go through the following online help article that explains "AutoCompleteMode Property":<http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/NET/2008.2/CLR2.0/html/Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinGrid.v8.2~Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridColumn~AutoCompleteMode.html>
I would suggest you to use ultracombo control, please have a look upon the following online help article:<http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/NET/2008.2/CLR2.0/html/Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinGrid.v8.2~Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraCombo~AutoCompleteMode.html>
Hope this helps you. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Considering that when I started using Infragistics controls (v7.3) I was told by by an infragistics employee on these forums that I should be using UltraDropDowns on grids, not ultraCombo's, this is a very dissapointing answer.
Whats going on here? Is the support guy right? Or does he/she not know what they are talking about?
