hi,
There are couple of requirement i need to fulfill using the UltraCombo.
1. I need to show multiple columns.
: So i use UltraCombo.
2. The user will be typing the first 3 letters and it will show the names searches with the given letters in the dropdown.
: So i use autocomplete->Suggest.
3. There should be a checkbox so that user will be selecting only one name at a time.
I used ChecklistSettings and achieved this.
Now, If i enable the checkbox then im not able to use the suggest option. If i disable that i am able to use the suggest.
So please help me with a solution how i can achieve the auto complete mode -> Suggest with the checkboxes for the user selection.
If i am using with out checkboxes then it will show the selected one, but i have another requirement which i am using leave event to populate other controls with the value which the user selects in the ultracombo and if user types something and click on outside the ultracombo, the ultracombo is selecting the first item from the drop down and populating it in the editorbox. This is causing trouble of loading wrong value on other controls.That is why i tried using the checkbox options.
So please suggest a solution for this.
Why turn on checkboxes if the user can only select one option at a time? CheckBoxes are to allow the user to make multiple selections. If you only need one selected value at a time, you don't need a checkbox.
My requirement with the check box is if the user is not selecting any value then what user types in the editor box will consider as a new item. If the user selects any value from the dropdown then I need to populate other controls in the form with the value user selected using check box.
Hm, this is a very complex and unusual user interface. I've never seen an application like that before. I'm really not clear on why you would do that or how exactly you would want that to work, but it doesn't sound like it will be possible.
Wouldn't it better to have a separate UI for allowing the user to add something to the list?
I'm having the same issue.
I need a dropdown with checkboxes to multiple selection and also need autocomplete suggestions, but these two doesn´t seems to work togheter.
Do you know how can I do to make it work?
Thanks,
Gastón
Hi Gastón,
AutoSuggest requires that the user be able to type into the edit portion of the combo and Multi-select requires that the user cannot type, but must select from the list. So there is no way to use both of these features together.
Hello ,
I’ve double cheeked about using autosuggest and multi-select together and as Mike said “AutoSuggest requires that the user be able to type into the edit portion of the combo and Multi-select requires that the user cannot type”. As alternative you could review the following article form our knowledge base “HOWTO:Creating a Multi-Select Dropdown Combo for the WinGrid”.

You could use similar approach to create your own multi-select dropdown editor, and also you should implement your own logic for AutoSuggest on TextChange event. I want to note that this will involve a lot of custom coding and the benefits of this is that theoretically you should be able to achieve your goal.
I hope that this will helps you.
