Hi @ll,

How can i modify the Dropdown list in the report control? i'm searching for the following features:

1) Autocomplete

2) Tag Property for the items. I don't wanna use a external var like


dim ItemTag(1 to 10)

...

3) Button should be displayed by focus the Recorditem not at doubleclick the Recorditem as default

At the moment i'm using this code:


Column.EditOptions.AddComboButton
Column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Comboitem", 1

a prefered solution would be


Dim Combobox as XTremeComboBox
ComboBox.Autocomplete=True
ComboBox.Items.Add "ComboItem", 1
ComboBox.Items(1).Tag="ComboTag1"

Is this possible? if not, does anyone have an acceptable workaround?

kind regards

Eder Markus

ps: sorry for my english

Hi Eder,

1) Standard Report control's behavior doesn't includes autocomplete for now. But you can customize it by using _InplaceButtonDown handler. Please look ReportSample / TaskList sample / column DueDate editing. As you can see, it calls whether Show_XTPDatePicker or Show_MFCDatePicker depending on registered components. If you do have any combobox with advanced autocomplete functionality, just call it there.

2) Not available now, will add for future versions. Currently only as you described.

3) You can handle _DrawItem event and draw a custom button for every required item.
