Why is the behaviour of the comboboxtool in the toolbar different than all the other combos?
All other combos support the AutoCompleteMode property, with the option to suggest (and SuggestAndAppend). I need the combo in the toolbar to behave the same as all the other combos.
Is that true? If I set AutoComplete to false and have the ComboBoxTool's DropDownStyle set to DropDown, completion seems to be turned on instead of off. If I set it to false it is turned off...
hohiinfra,
The ComboBoxTool has limited AutoComplete functionality, if you set its AutoComplete property to true. When the AutoComplete property is set to True, the edit portion of the tool is updated to match an item in the list as new characters are typed. If you set the ComboBoxTool's DropDownStyle to DropDown (rather than the default DropDownList) you will get more of a suggest-like functionality. Other than that, the ComboBoxTool has no other auto-complete functionality. If you would like to submit a feature request for more auto-complete functionality in the ComboBoxTool, you can do so here.
