GGC cell with ComboBox autocomplete

[Josip]

Hello,

I have GGC with some columns, on of the cell is Combobox which is previously filled with some data from table..

I want when user types something to open combobox and suggest him to choose something that matches to text that he is entering but with option that he can type something that doesn't match to anything in the list.

So far this is current setting for desired cell

AnyRecordFieldCell:

CellType = "ComboBox"
CellValueType = System.String
ValueMember = "SifraMaterijala"
DisplayMember = "SifraMaterijala"
AutoCompleteInEditMode = Both
ShowButtons = Show
ExclusiveChoiceList = True
AutoComplete = True

Hi Josip, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have analyzed the code snippet that you provided. We suspect that you want to show the dropdown when text is entered in the  combobox celltype. By default, GridControl does not have the support to show the dropdown to suggest the text. But, you can be achieved this requirement by handling TableControlCurrentCellKeyPress event. Please refer to the below code snippet and the KB document, 

Code Example 

//Event Triggering 

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCurrentCellKeyPress += GridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyPress; 

 

//Event customization 

private void GridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyPress(object sender, GridTableControlKeyPressEventArgs e) 

{ 

   if(!e.TableControl.CurrentCell.IsDroppedDown) 

    { 

        e.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowDropDown(); 

    } 

}
