TcxCustomTextEditProperties.IncrementalSearch Property

Enables the automatic completion feature of an editor.

#Declaration

Delphi
property IncrementalSearch: Boolean read; write; default True;

#Property Value

Type Default
Boolean True

#Remarks

If this property is set to True, typing within the editor displays the item which starts with the characters entered. This also selects the item in a list within a derived editor with a dropdown window and fires the OnClick event.

You can specify the items that are recognized and automatically completed by the editor via the LookupItems list. If the IncrementalSearch property is set to False, any characters typed appear within the editor. The OnClick event is fired only when the Enter key is pressed.

The default value of the IncrementalSearch property is True.
