AutoComplete

[keith]

An Autocomplete is associated with a TextBox control. When typing character, a list displays and contains items matching the typed in at
the position along the TextBox.

If I don''t want to display the list at the position, can I control where to display it
and how to do it?

Thanks

Hi Keith, You could enable or disable the AutoComplete control associated with a TextBox at any point in the application using the code shown below : // Enable AutoComplete this.autoComplete1.SetAutoComplete(this.textBox1, AutoCompleteModes.Both); // Disable AutoComplete this.autoComplete1.SetAutoComplete(this.textBox1, AutoCompleteModes.Disabled); Please refer to the sample attached which shows how this can be done, and let me know if this meets your requirements.

My question was to re-position autocomplete list. Your autocomplete list is displayed at bottom-left of associated textbox. In our app, we want to enter multiple items in a textbox. These items are from the assocated autocomplete. When typeing the first item, autocomple should display matched items at the position. Then type in a semicolon that tells to end the first item and start the second item. Then type the second item and the autocomplete should display matched items for the second item at the bottom of the textbox and right under the second item. What I need is to detect current cursor position and display autocomplete list to the position instead of bottom-left corner of the textbox. Can you tell how to display autocomplete list at different position at run time?

Hi Keith,

The current version of the AutoComplete control does not allow for custom positioning the AutoSuggest dropdown. We have now added an AutoCompleteCustomize event that can be handled to position the drop down. This feature will be available in our post v2.0.3.0 releases. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Keith, or any one else,

I have requirements to do the same thing - multiple values separated by semicolon. Do you have any sample code for this technique?
