Property Value

Remarks

Use the AutoCompleteCustomSource,AutoCompleteMode, and AutoCompleteSource properties to create a GcComboBox that automatically completes input strings by comparing the prefix being entered to the prefixes of all strings in a maintained source. This is useful for GcTextBox controls in which URLs, addresses, file names, or commands are frequently entered.

The AutoCompleteCustomSource property is optional, but you must set the AutoCompleteSource property to CustomSource in order to use AutoCompleteCustomSource.

You must use the AutoCompleteMode and AutoCompleteSource properties together.

Example

This example creates a custom source.

AutoCompleteStringCollection acsc = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
acsc.AddRange(new string[] { "Gouda", "Swiss", "Brie" });

GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcComboBoxCellType gccombo = new GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcComboBoxCellType();
gccombo.Items.Add("Gouda");
gccombo.Items.Add("Swiss");
gccombo.Items.Add("Brie");
gccombo.AutoCompleteCustomSource = acsc;
gccombo.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;
gccombo.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].CellType = gccombo;

Visual Basic

Dim acsc = New AutoCompleteStringCollection()
acsc.AddRange(New String() {"Gouda", "Swiss", "Brie"})

Dim gccombo As New GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcComboBoxCellType()
gccombo.Items.Add("Gouda")
gccombo.Items.Add("Swiss")
gccombo.Items.Add("Brie")
gccombo.AutoCompleteCustomSource = acsc
gccombo.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest
gccombo.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0).CellType = gccombo
