Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets a value that specifies the source of strings used for automatic completion.

Syntax

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

Property Value

One of the values of System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteSource. The options are AllSystemSources, AllUrl, FileSystem, HistoryList, RecentlyUsedList, CustomSource, and None.
The default is None.

Remarks

Use the GcTextBox.AutoCompleteCustomSource,GcTextBox.AutoCompleteMode, and 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 AutoCompleteSource property.

GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType inputcell1 = new GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType();
inputcell1.AcceptsArrowKeys = FarPoint.Win.SuperEdit.AcceptsArrowKeys.AllArrows;            
inputcell1.DisplayAlignment = GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.DisplayAlignment.Distributed;
AutoCompleteStringCollection acsc = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
acsc.AddRange(new string[] { "One", "Two", "Three", "Four" });
inputcell1.AutoCompleteCustomSource  = acsc;
inputcell1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;
inputcell1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[1, 1].CellType = inputcell1;
