TcxExtLookupComboBoxProperties.AutoSearchOnPopup Property

Determines whether an incremental search is performed when a user types within the edit box of the ExtLookupEditor.

Declaration

property AutoSearchOnPopup: Boolean read; write; default True;

Property Value

Type	Default
Boolean	True

Remarks

The AutoSearchOnPopup property is in effect only when the FocusPopup property is set to True.

An ExtLookupEditor displays a value of the ListFieldItem column in the edit box. If the AutoSearchOnPopup property is set to True, typing within the edit box initiates an incremental search against the ListFieldItem column. This locates the first record whose ListFieldItem column value starts with the characters typed. Also, you can continue the incremental search with the same starting characters by pressing the Ctrl+UpArrow or Ctrl+DownArrow key.

If the AutoSearchOnPopup property is set to False, the first character you typed within the edit box is used to locate the record whose ListFieldItem column value starts with it. Subsequent characters typed are used to modify a value of the focused column of this record.

The default value of the AutoSearchOnPopup property is True.
