Reply To: Auto complete on combo boxes

There is another option for the GridComboBox, AutoCompleteMode. This can be set to: None, Append, Suggest, SuggestAppend.

This will give you traditional autocomplete.

I have found an issue with this tough. The following code sets up a drop down list and autocompletion:

void EnteringEdit(object sender, Xceed.Grid.EnteringEditEventArgs e) {
Xceed.Grid.Editors.GridComboBox box = new Xceed.Grid.Editors.GridComboBox();
box.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown;
box.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.None;
box.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
foreach (string s in stringList) { // Definted elsewhere
box.Items.Add(s);
}
box.AutoCompleteCustomSource.AddRange(sa);
}
}

e.CellEditor = box;
}

If I select the drop down menu and then hit enter, the value in the cell is wiped out and set to “”.
