To get the autocomplete using the standard GridFilterBar, try this. In the sample we ship (), remove the line in SetTableIntoGridAndWireFilterBar that reads theFilterBar.WireGrid(this.gridDataBoundGrid1); and replace it with this code. GridStyleInfo style = new GridStyleInfo(); style.ModifyStyle(this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Header"].StyleInfo, StyleModifyType.Copy); style.CellType = "ComboBox"; style.ExclusiveChoiceList = true; style.BaseStyle = "Standard"; style.Font.Bold = false; style.BackColor = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.TableStyle.BackColor; style.Borders.Bottom = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Dashed); style.DropDownStyle = GridDropDownStyle.AutoComplete; theFilterBar.WireGrid(this.gridDataBoundGrid1, style); This adds the DropDownStyle = AutoComplete setting to the default combobox.

Is there any way to make the filterbar use 'LIKE a*' to filter the data, instead of using the '=a' currently?

If you want to see the items in the grid dynamically filter as you type into the filter cell, then here is a little sample that does this. It uses a derived GridFilterBar class to implement this functionality.
