Xceed Grid column combobox item filtering in vb.net

[User (Old forums)]

#16458 |

I HAVE A XCEED GRID COMBOBOX COLUMN IN VB .NET
IT HAS A 250 ITEMS IN COBMBOBOX LIST
ITS WORKING PROPER BUT WHEN WE TYPE SOMETHING IN COMBOBOX
IT FOCUS ON FIRST LETTER SIMILER TO ITEM IN LIST.
I WANT THAT WHATEVER WE TYPE ITS FILTER THAT LIST IN COMBOBOX.
EXAMPLE LIKE IF I TYPE ‘PETER’ THEN IT SHOULD COME ON ‘PETER’ ITEM
IN COMBOBOX.
CAN ANY BODY SOLVE MY PROBLEM
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

The WinComboBox (which is the control under the ComboBoxEditor) does not provide the AutoComplete feature in and of itself.  However, you can use the AutoCompleteSource to provide a similar functionality.

e.g. :

AutoCompleteStringCollection coll = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();

coll.AddRange(

new string[] { “Speedy Express”, “United Package”, “Federal Shipping” } );

box.TextBoxArea.AutoCompleteMode =

AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;

box.TextBoxArea.AutoCompleteSource =

AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;

box.TextBoxArea.AutoCompleteCustomSource = coll;

 

Then set the CellEditorManager on the Column with this WinComboBox.

e.g.:

gridControl1.Columns[ 0 ].CellEditorManager =

new CellEditorManager( box, “SelectedValue”, true, true );

What is that gridcontrol1?   I thought we were dealing with a combobox so why are you adding this?

Well, this is the “Xceed Grid for .NET” forums, so the original poster is using the ComboBox in the grid and not as a stand alone control.
