how to show AutoComplete box in GridDataBoundGrid Filterbar

How can i show AutoComplete box in GridDataBoundGrid Filterbar.
I have tried the following code which is not showing any affect.

GridStyleInfo style = new GridStyleInfo(); style.ModifyStyle(this.BaseStylesMap["Header"].StyleInfo, StyleModifyType.Copy);
style.CellType = "ComboBox";
style.ExclusiveChoiceList = true;
style.BaseStyle = "Standard";
style.Font.Bold = false;
style.BackColor = this.TableStyle.BackColor;
style.Borders.Bottom = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Dashed);
style.DropDownStyle = GridDropDownStyle.Editable;
_filter.WireGrid(this, style);
_rowHeaderCount++;

Can you guys please suggest me a way to change the dropdown in the filterbar to Autocomplete box

Hello Asarudheen,

Thanks for your reply.

The solution you have suggested will turn all columns in Flterbar to auto complete but i have to do it for one specific column.

Here is my requirement.

My grid got more than 15 columns.. out of 15 columns filters i have to change one columns filter to auto complete... rest 14 filters in filter bar should behave like normal dropdown(combobox).

Hi,

Setting "filter.StyleInfo.DropDownStyle = GridDropDownStyle.AutoComplete;" is not showing any affect.
what i have noticed while debugging is "GridComboBoxCellRenderer" StyleInfo.DropDownStyle is always showing as "Exclusive" and i am not able to change it to "Editable" or "AutoComplete"

While debugging Filterbar Styleinfo is showing as AutoComplete but not working as auto complete.. i think this is something i have do with GridComboBoxCellRenderer style...

It is important for me to Change a column in the filter bar to editable or autocomplete...



Cheers,

Hi venkatesh,

You cannot have autocomplete for one particular column in GridDataBoundGrid as GridDataBoundGrid is wired within a filterbar.
But you can have filter bar as per your requirement in GridGroupingControl.

Please refer to the sample in the following link

Please let me know if you have any concerns.
