UltraComboEditor AutoComplete with CheckBox

Gyorgy posted over 12 years ago

I'm using NetAdvantage v10.3, and having problems with the UltraComboEditor control.

I want to create a control which has a collection binded to it, and users can choose items from this collection with a dropdown or can type one's value into a box as well. I want this box to support auto complete (only suggestion, but not append).

If I use UltraComboEditor, and set AutoCompleteMode to 'Suggest', I see the datasource's items in the dropdown, and autocompletion works well. Then if I also set the CheckBoxStyle property to 'CheckBox', there are checkboxes next to the items in the dropdown, but the autocompletion stops working.

Could you please advise?

Thanks,

Gyorgy

Hello Gyorgy,

The Auto-suggest and multiple-selection are mutually exclusive. You could have appending with checkboxes. The suggest option requires you to type in the edit portion and in the same time the multi selection requires that the user cannot type in the portion.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any additional assistance.

Hi Boris,

I am also facing same issue with UltraComboEditor control, where I want to give multiple selection through checkboxstyle property to checkbox but then autocompletion stop working and that’s big issue with users.

Can you please suggest how to achieve this feature where we want to show multiple selection option with Autocomplete feature?

Hello Dev,

You could use this functionality with 'Append' and 'CheckBoxStyle' set to 'CheckBox'. Otherwise, if you want also 'Suggest' style, what I could do is logging a new product idea in our internal system for you.

Hello,

is this logged as product idea / or even released yet?

I could use a combination of fast single select (auto-complete) and multi select dropdown, too. Or best of - multi auto-complete (auto-complete for each seperated entry in string).

Thanks Boris for your quick response.we are using UltraComboEditor control for multiple selection option,only issue which our users found is with autocomplete (suggest) is not working for multiple choice option.they are not very happy to scroll long list of items and then select.

our code snippet

            ComboEditor = new UltraComboEditor();
            ComboEditor.CheckedListSettings.CheckBoxStyle = CheckStyle.CheckBox;
            ComboEditor.CheckedListSettings.CheckBoxAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
            ComboEditor.CheckedListSettings.ItemCheckArea = ItemCheckArea.Item;
            ComboEditor.CheckedListSettings.EditorValueSource = EditorWithComboValueSource.CheckedItems;
            ComboEditor.CheckedListSettings.ListSeparator = ";";
            ComboEditor.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
            ComboEditor.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

Appreciate your input.

regards

Dev
