Question

Does anyone know how to do AutoCompleteSource for TextBox UI element in Compact Framework 3.5? (with C#) To display suggestions, as user types into TextBox, from data in specified dataset?

Here is link from Microsoft that describes how to use AutoCompleteSource, but I can't find it with compact framework 3.5. Are there any alternative to this? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox.autocompletemode(v=vs.90).aspx

The data that I want to use for suggestions is already imported into dataset in my code.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Those tools are not built into the CF Developer Controls like they are with Windows Forms and Web controls.

You could manually make something, I suppose, by making a ListBox visible below your TextBox.

It isn't that it can't be done, you just have to create it yourself if you really want it.
