Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets a custom System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteStringCollection to use when the GcTextBox.AutoCompleteSource property is set to CustomSource.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property AutoCompleteCustomSource As AutoCompleteStringCollection
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As GcTextBoxCellType
Dim value As AutoCompleteStringCollection
 
instance.AutoCompleteCustomSource = value
 
value = instance.AutoCompleteCustomSource
C# 
public AutoCompleteStringCollection AutoCompleteCustomSource {get; set;}

Property Value

A System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteStringCollection to use with GcTextBox.AutoCompleteSource.
The default is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

Use the AutoCompleteCustomSource, GcTextBox.AutoCompleteMode, and AutoCompleteSource properties to create a GcTextBox that automatically completes the input string by comparing the prefix being entered to the prefixes of all strings in a maintained source. This is useful for TextBox controls in which URLs, addresses, file names, or commands are frequently entered.

The use of the AutoCompleteCustomSource property is optional, but you must set the AutoCompleteSource property to CustomSource in order to use AutoCompleteCustomSource.

You must use the AutoCompleteMode and AutoCompleteSource properties together.
