ComboBoxAutoComplete with AutoSuggest

[Schneider Leah]

I'd like combobox to open a dropdown with the range of valid values automatically when the user starts typing text. But I can only get autocomplete functionality on the text box and the dropdown has to be opened manually.
Please help.

Hi,
Sonething weird with this property: it works for the first time you start typing but if the cursor leaves the combobox and then gets back - the drop down is not getting open...
Please help

Hi Leah,

Thanks for the update.

Please try calling SetAutoComplete() method in comboBoxAutoComplete1_TextChanged event handler as follows and let me know if this helps you.


[C#]

void comboBoxAutoComplete1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
comboBoxAutoComplete1.AutoCompleteControl.SetAutoComplete(this.comboBoxAutoComplete1, AutoCompleteModes.AutoSuggest);
