I am making a WinForm in C#3.5 and am trying to create a combo box that will let the user type in their input
my code :
cboCustomer.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.Simple;
DataTable dt = Globale.ReturnTable("SELECT Id, [NAME] FROM ACTM WHERE (DBCR = 'D') ORDER BY [NAME]");
cboCustomer.DataSource = dt;
cboCustomer.ValueMember = "Id";
cboCustomer.DisplayMember = "Name";
cboCustomer.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;
cboCustomer.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems;
cboCustomer.SelectedIndex = -1;
It seems that the "suggest" part of the autocomplete does not work with combo boxes that have a Simple DropDownStyle. If you type first letter of one of the items and then click on it, the text in the combo box just gets cleared. This is only a problem with
the Simple combo boxes, though.
i want use ComboBoxStyle.Simple and second when user type any think he will select name sagest autocomplet in combox list and he will select name and i want to know it's value member i.e id.
my application is i need id from name from ComboBoxStyle.Simple not not dropdowlist
please help me
