The editor can filter items on the client while a user types the filter string. Use the IncrementalFilteringMode property to specify the editor’s filter mode.

• IncrementalFilteringMode=”Contains”

  

• IncrementalFilteringMode=”StartsWith”

  

The editor can use callbacks in incremental filter mode.

In markup:

ASPX

<dx:ASPxComboBox ID="Countries" runat="server" EnableCallbackMode="True" IncrementalFilteringMode="StartsWith">
    <Items>
        <!--...-->
    </Items>
</dx:ASPxComboBox>

In code:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
    ASPxComboBox cb = new ASPxComboBox();
    cb.Items.AddRange(new List<ListEditItem>(){
        //...
    })
    cb.EnableCallbackMode = true;
    cb.IncrementalFilteringMode = IncrementalFilteringMode.StartsWith;
}

In incremental filtering mode, the ASPxComboBox can filter its items according to the format specified in the ASPxAutoCompleteBoxBase.TextFormatString property.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxComboBox ID="ASPxComboBox1" runat="server" DataSourceID="EmployeesDataSource"  ValueField="EmployeeID"
    DropDownStyle="DropDown" TextFormatString="{0} from {2}" IncrementalFilteringMode="Contains">
    <Columns>
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="FirstName" />
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="LastName" />
        <dx:ListBoxColumn FieldName="City" />
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxComboBox>
<ef:EntityDataSource runat="server" ID="EmployeesDataSource" .../>
