ComboBox Search AutoSuggest
-
Hello, I need to extend the ComboBox control so that while the user types text, it automatically displays its drop-down containing only those of its items that contain the text being typed by the user. This is almost similar to using AutoCompleteMode = Suggest and AutoCompleteSource = ListItems but It must show not only items that start with the text being typed but all that have it as substring. How can I achieve this? Thanks Silvia Terzi

It will be better if you use the Text_Changed Event of the combobox to fill out the details as items by selecting from the database In the database we can use some query for filtration as like '%datahere%' before filling the data in the combo box we can clear all the previous items there.

Here we set the ComboBox Property DropDownStyle=DropDownList after setting the combobox property user only select a value from this list ,user can't write any in this combobox. If user want to add more values in this list, user set the combobox property "Items", Here user can write our values :)

Your seriously going to consider doing a database fetch on every keystroke in the control?? :omg: Think about the number of records you could possibly return, possible network speeds involved, how long to fetch and transfer those records, wipe out and repopulate the combo's list, yada, yada, yada, ... and you'll see how bad of a solution this is.

There is no event name "Text_Changed" under combo box of wpf.
