AutoCompleteComboBox Product Information
Filter As you Type
The Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox is an advanced ComboBox, providing these features: - AutoComplete: This provides an automatic filtering of your dataProvider as the user types, including support for remote data. You’re probably use to this in the address bar of your browser or the your e-mail client.
- Type-Ahead: What happens when you want to jump ahead to an item in the standard ComboBox? Let’s say you have a list of states and want to move from wherever you are to Arkasas. So, you type A and go to Alabama. Then you type R and jump to Rhode Island, then you type K and go to Kansas. This can be confusing to some users. We implemented a multiple key type ahead. Type A and go to Alabama. Type R and go to Arizona, then type K and you’ll on Arkansas as you wanted.
- Truncate To Fit: The standard ComboBox will cut off the text if it is longer than the display area. You don’t get a truncation indicator. You don’t get a tooltip telling you the full text. We corrected that!
- Expand to Content: If you’ve ever had an item in your dataProvider that makes the ComboBox to big for your form layout, this option is for you. Size our AutoCompleteComboBox as you wish and the drop down will expand to fit the content.
- Selected Value:. Sometimes you want an easy way to specify the content of a your ComboBox without looping through the dataProvider to find the index, or selected item. We’ve implemented a selectedValue field just for that
