One TextBoxExt with several AutoComplete lists

[Kenton Hensley]

I would like to use a single TextBoxExt with three different AutoComplet lists. I need to programattically set the propery sheet for "AutoComplete on xyzList". However, I can''t find them in documented or in intllisense. Can please you show me the way.

Thanks,
Kenton

Hi Kenton,

In the AutoCompleteDemo sample (Editors Package\AutoComplete\AutoCompleteDemo) there is some sample code that demonstrates what you are looking for (in MainForm.cs).

Here is the code snippet that demonstrates how you can programatically enable AutoCompletion for any control(s):

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
AutoCompleteModes mode = this.autoComplete1.GetAutoComplete(this.comboBox1);
if(mode == AutoCompleteModes.Disabled)
this.autoComplete1.SetAutoComplete(this.comboBox1, AutoCompleteModes.AutoSuggest);
else
this.autoComplete1.SetAutoComplete(this.comboBox1, AutoCompleteModes.Disabled);
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
AutoCompleteModes mode = this.autoComplete1.GetAutoComplete(this.textBox1);
if(mode == AutoCompleteModes.Disabled)
this.autoComplete1.SetAutoComplete(this.textBox1, AutoCompleteModes.Both);
else
this.autoComplete1.SetAutoComplete(this.textBox1, AutoCompleteModes.Disabled);

}

Thank you I see it now. Sorry to put you to the bother.

Would you have any comment about my post concerning the extra space held by the docing manager?

Many thanks for your assistance,
