Auto completion in the query column panel

Hello,

We are currently evaluating the ASP.NET version of the component and it looks very promising as we were able to build a quick example quite easily and even customize it to our needs (sort of tables, views, fields alphabetically addition of actions like preview results, etc.).

Our tables or views have a lot of columns so it will be very helful to help the user when he starts entering a field name.

Currently the drop down opens and displays the list of available fields but it does not position the scrollbar where the field match.

For instance I have 4 columns called: PlaceOfBirth, PlaceOfJob, PlaceOfLiving, PlaceOfVacation. I expect, when I start typying Place, that the dropdown popup position itself at the first column so I can see which one is correct and select it (either Tab if it's the first one, either clicking with the mouse, either ideally by pressing up and down arrows).


Is this possible and I miss something in the configuration of the component ?


Thanks in advance,


Eric

I don't get the difference between filtration and searching, what will be the difference for the user when he types a start of field name ?
Only matching fields will be displayed ?

Yes, it is possible. It will behave in a different way than in ASP.NET version (filtration instead of searching).

No, this property is for ASP.NET version only.

Thanks a lot, we will test this.
We change the implementation of the application to use the windows form .NET version (due to issue with latency on the network where we plan to use the component).
As part of the component is shared between ASP.NET and WinForm, I think it will work for both.
Right ?

The new Grid.QuickFilterInExpressionMatchFromBeginning property is added.

Currently there's no such option. Possibly we will add it in one of the next minor versions.

Hi,


Thanks a lot for the quick update, I just tested it and it works pretty well the only issue I have is that the search is conducted anywhere in the column name so if I type "name" and I have a column called "Dynameters", it will be selected and If I press tab it will be selected by default while before the default selected columns should have been the first one starting with "name".

As I think both search mode are usefull, is there any parameter to specify that the search should be conducted only on start of the column ?


THanks in advance,


Eric
