Hello, I am using the UltraComboEditor and was wondering whether I can override the AutoComplete functionality, either by events handlers or by deriving from the control.
I need an auto complete functionality as in Internet Explorer Address. For instance, I want to suggest an item like http://www.google.com also if the text inserted is ‘goo’ or 'www.go'.
I tried turning off the auto-complete by choosing AutoCompleteMode = None and implementing it myself, but faced a lot of disturbing issues. I couldn't understand the role of the MRUList property.
No, there's no way to do this currently.The current AutoComplete functionality only works at the start of the text.
The good news is that "Contains" auto-complete is one of the new feature we will be adding in NetAdvantage 2010 Volume 1. :)
Hi Mike,
I'm using NetAdvantage 2010.3 for Windows Forms. I need similar autocomplete feature like IE/Outlook with ability to delete an item from the suggested list.
Please let me know how I can achieve that using preferably a text editor but combo editor will also work.
Thanks.
Hi,
There's no easy way to do this. The only way I can think of would be to use an UltraTextEditor and add a DropDownEditorButton to the ButtonsRight collection. You could then put a control on the dropdown button that does what you want. But you would have to implement everything yourself including what happens when you drop it down, what happens when you click on an item on the list, etc.
