I'm using Infragistics 10.3. I have an UltraWinGrid with a column for customer code. I have attached an UltraDropDown to the ValueList property of that column.
The UltraDropDown's data source is a DataTable with two columns -- one for customer code, and one for customer name. I've set the ValueMember to the customer code, and the DisplayMember to the customer name.
This all seems to work fine -- I can click the drop down in the customer code column on the grid and see the list of customers.
But I would like for the user, when adding a new row, to be able to start typing the customer name, and get a list of autocomplete suggestions. I've tried setting the AutoCompleteMode property of the column on the grid to AutoCompleteMode.Suggest, but it doesn't seem to do anything, and I'm not sure why. Are there other properties that need to be set for the autocomplete to kick in?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
I think I found the answer here: http://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/70133.aspx
UltraDropDown does not work with Suggest. I switched to using an UltraCombo and it looks like it's working now. I was misled by the same article mentioned in the above post (http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Support/KnowledgeBaseArticle.aspx?ArticleID=7841), and thought I needed to use the UltraDropDown.
I do have another AutoSuggest related question though -- as I type into the column, I can see the dropdown list of suggestions -- but it would be nice if I was able to move through the suggested list, maybe by hitting tab, down arrow, etc. But it seems that hitting any of those keys just moves me to the next column in the AddRow. Is there a way to cycle through the list of suggestions using the keyboard?
Hi Mike,
You can use the arrow keys. The down arrow will take you down and select the first item on the list.
Tab will tab out of the cell and into the next cell.
