C1 Community

Hi Guys,

I'm adding data to two columns in Add Item mode to a C1Combo but for some reason I simply cannot get AutoComplete to work.   Can someone please give me an idiots guide on how to get this to work :)

Cheers 

Hi,

You should only have to set the AutoCompletion property to true.  And there should be data visible in the drop down.  If that's not working, try setting everything else to default or start with a new C1Combo that has only DataMode and AutoCompletion properties changed.

Hi

Thanks for the reply,

I started a new project with just one combo on it and loaded data from a table with the datamode set to Normal and Autocomplete works fine.  When you set the Datamode to Additem mode then Autocomplete stops working :(

Just to make sure, when DataMode = AddItem, are you calling the AddItem method in your code to populate the combo? 

and what version are you running?

Hi Greg

This is the code:

C1Combo1.Columns(0).Caption = "CustNo"

C1Combo1.Columns(1).Caption = "Customer"

C1Combo1.DisplayMember = "Customer"

C1Combo1.AutoCompletion = True

C1Combo1.Splits(0).DisplayColumns(0).Visible = False

It looks like you are binding your Combo to a datasource.  If so, you have to keep DataMode to Normal, because AddItem mode is for unbound Combos that are populated using the AddItem method.  I don't see you using the AddItem method so I assume you have a datasource. 

Also make sure the DisplayMember matches the field from the datasource.  Try this code for that line:

Hi Greg

The line

C1Combo1.DisplayMember = C1Combo1.Columns(1).DataField

Has fixed the problem, many thanks for all your hard work.

Cheers
