AutoComplete

[Lars Johansen]

Hi,

Lets say I have a list like this in my combobox:
102003,102033,120703,120804,140500,143000

With the AutoComplete active:
When i start to type 12 it jumps to 120703 with is all correct.

Now I want to go to the 140500 numbers so I type 14 but it don't jump because it just continues on the AutoComplete string (1214)

Can I reset the AutoComplete string If nothing was types in a given period ?

Thanks
/Lars

Hi Lars,

In version 812 there is no way to reset the autocomplete buffer, except by reopening the dropdown, or pressing backspace several times. We will provide some improvements in that area with Q3 2009 (scheduled in two weeks) - if the user does not type anything for ~500ms the buffer will automatically reset. Unfortunately we were unable to implement the other part of the logic, where the selection cycles when the user types only the first letter of the items, but we are well aware that this is very important feature and we will definitely improve it in the near future.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

Im unsure - what will that mean for my example above ?

Can I use one of the Q3 beta releases to test it my self ? Or will it only be included in the final Q3 release ?

Hi Lars,

The feature will be included in the official Q3 release, it is not present in Beta 1 and 2. If you open a new support ticket I could send you developer version of the pre-release assemblies just to test the functionality. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee the stability of all controls, so I would recommend using the assemblies only for testing.

All the best,

Hi Valeri,

The Q3 release works as expected, the only problem is that the ~500ms seems to fast for my older co-workers :-)
It could be nice to be able to set this value !

Hi Lars,

I will add a static property on the TextSearch class that will allow configuring the autocomplete timeout with the upcoming internal build next week.

Hi Valeri,

Found a bug - I think.

If I move the mouse down the list of items (Away from the selected item) and then try the autocomplete it behaves strangely ?

Anyone seen this ?

Hi Lars,

I apologize for the delayed answer.

The problem seems simple enough to be reproduced on our online demos, but I am unable to do so. Could you provide more information? Probably we are missing something important.
