Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets an option that controls how automatic completion works for the GcTextBox control.

Syntax

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

Property Value

One of the GcTextBox.AutoCompleteMode values. The values are AutoAppend, AutoSuggest, AutoSuggestAppend, and None.
The default is None.

Remarks

Use the GcTextBox.AutoCompleteCustomSource, AutoCompleteMode, and GcTextBox.AutoCompleteSource properties to create a GcTextBox that automatically completes input strings by comparing the prefix being entered to the prefixes of all strings in a maintained source. This is useful for GcTextBox 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.

Example

This example uses the AutoCompleteMode property.
