we just recently upgraded to version 2008.2.2011. our project has hundreds of combos, dropdowns, and grids through out many, many forms.
i just found out that a new property was added called, "autocompletemode" which is defaulted to NONE. Why would you decide to default this property to None? Why wouldn't you default it to be compatible to prior versions? We now have to manually set this property for every combo/grid? this seems like a time consuming task and i don't understand why we can't control how this property would be set.
thanks.
AutoCompleteMode defaults to Default, not None. When AutoCompleteMode is set to default, the AutoCompleteModeResolved will resolve to Append which results in the same behavior the control has in the previous versions.
the comboboxes may be set to default; however, the grid's columns "autocompletemode" are set to None.
in addition, the default mode doesn't fully work on our machines. what i mean by that is the text portion on the combo box be appended, however, the drop-down area doesn't get updated. for instance, if the drop down items all start with "A" and the user types "C", the drop-down list still stays at "A."
thanks
