Autocompletemode for numbers in Ultracomboeditor
posted

Hi there, I'm using ultracomboeditor with dropdownstyle set to 'DropDownList'. Also I have set the autocomplete mode to "Append'.

My drop down has the following values: eg. Value set to intger eg. "1", display text set to eg. "1. test1"

Following are sample display text values:

1. test1

2. test 2

3. test 3

4. test 4

11. test 11

26. test 26

30. test 30

31. test 31

32. test 32

33. test 33

34. test 34

When the form loads, I key in "2" in the dropdown and it goes to the "26. test26" value which is correct. Then i key in "3" in the dropdown, which then it will go straight to "30. test 30" but NOT to "3. test 3". I want when I'm in 26, and when i press '3', it should go to "3. test 3".

Is it the normail behaviour?? Why cant we go to the top of the list to search?

my code: this.uComboBillingGroup.AutoCompleteMode = Infragistics.Win.AutoCompleteMode.Append;

this.uComboBillingGroup.DropDownStyle = Infragistics.Win.DropDownStyle.DropDownList;

this.uComboBillingGroup.DataSource = dt; this.uComboBillingGroup.ValueMember = "group_id";

this.uComboBillingGroup.Value = bill_id;

this.uComboBillingGroup.DisplayMember = "description";

Could u please be able to help me with a solution ASAP??

Thanks in Advance!! NW

    Hello,

    Could you please try the following code and let me know if it works for you:

            private void ultraComboEditor1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

            {

                if (!ultraComboEditor1.Text.ToString().StartsWith(e.KeyChar.ToString()))

                {

                    ultraComboEditor1.SelectedItem = ultraComboEditor1.ValueList.FindByDataValue(e.KeyChar.ToString());

                }

            }
