I'm having problems with UltraDropDowns (used in grids) since my recent upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2. I'll try to outline these issues:1) UltraDropDown (used on a grid) fields do not auto complete. When I type an "A" into the UltraDropDown, it does not suggest something starting with A to me.2) When I type in an existing value exactly (which is in the dropdown list), it does not recognise it. That is, in the grid.BeforeCellUpdate event, the dropDown.SelectedRow property is null.I have done a little searching of the forums into this, and have found some reference to an AutoCompleteMode that was added (although I'm not sure if this was added in 8.1 or 8.2). I cant find such a property for the UltrarDropDown, but I can for the UltraGrid columns. They appear to be set to "None" for every column. I have attempted to change this to "Default" for one column. After saving it, and re-opening the form, it is back to "None". It seems to be resetting itself back after I save it.
Whats going on here? Why is auto complete not working, why is it not accepting typed in values? What has changed?
There is no work around available to achieve the two functionalities together.
You cannot. The two features are mutually exclusive.
Hi Mike,
How can i make CellMultiLine and AutoComplete work together as i have a requirement with such functionality
Thanks

It's not obvious that the two properties don't work well together. It all stems from a quirk in the behavior of the TextBox control, which fires different events depending on whether it's multiline or not. Whehn multiline is true and you overwrite text in the TextBox, the TextChanged event fires twice, whereas when Multiline is false, it only fires once.
Thanks a bunch Mike!
I have been struggling with this issue for the last 2-3 months and tried everything.
The CellMultiline property for this column is set to Default - but the one for the overall Grid was set to True.
I changed the property to false for this column and it works!!! ~smile~
Thanks again!!!
