I have a textbox in my C# Windows Forms application that has AutoCompleteMode set to AutoCompleteMode.Suggest, and my content source is a custom source.
My content source is custom, with the following values:
The content completion only appears to work by checking if the suggested items "start with" the value in the textbox.
For example:
text=J
Would result in the suggestions:
However, if the user types in
text=Walk
There are no results.
How can I get content completion to suggest the following?
Also, my end goal is to have a textbox where individuals can easy start typing email addresses. The content of the autocompletion suggestions will be names + email addresses. For example:
- Jim Smith <jsmith@mycorp.com>
- Alice Walker <alice@some.email.com>
- Bob Walker <bob.walker@mycorp.com>
- Jeremy Smith <jeremys@foo.com>
This is not possible with the built-in TextBox.
Reading the reference source reveals that the AutoComplete feature calls into the native function SHAutoComplete to do it's job. That one does only prefix matching.
You would have to subclass TextBox and provide your own suggestion feature (or purchase one / find an open source one), to do this.
