SmartAutoCompleteBehavior Class

Intelligently predicts and suggests words or phrases based on the user’s current input.

Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

#Declaration

public sealed class SmartAutoCompleteBehavior :
    Behavior<ITextAutocompleteBehavior>

#Remarks

MemoExEdit seamlessly integrates Smart Autocomplete. When Smart Autocomplete is activated, as you type, the AI model analyzes the context of the text and makes relevant suggestions in real time. Press Tab or click the suggestion to append it to the text.

using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms;

namespace SmartAutoCompleteDemo {
    public partial class Form1 : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            behaviorManager1.Attach<SmartAutoCompleteBehavior>(memoEdit1, behavior => {
                behavior.Properties.TypingPauseDelay = 200;
            });
        }
    }
}

Note

Call the BehaviorInitializer.Initialize() method at application startup if your project targets the .NET Framework and you create AI-powered behaviors in code. Otherwise, an exception is thrown.

C#
internal static class Program {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        //...
        // The Initialize() method forcibly initializes the behavior manager in .NET Framework apps.
        DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.BehaviorInitializer.Initialize();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}
