Name Description
OnlyInPopup

The incremental search is enabled only when the dropdown window is open. If the window is closed, the user can modify the text in the edit box. However these changes are ignored.

When the dropdown is open the incremental search is performed against the column whose index is specified by the RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.AutoSearchColumnIndex property. The header of this column contains the search icon (binoculars). The user can click a specific column header to perform the search against this column.

LookupEdit_SearchMode_AutoComplete_search

AutoComplete

Enables the automatic completion feature. In this mode, when the dropdown is closed, the text in the edit box is automatically completed if it matches a RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.DisplayMember field value of one of dropdown rows.

LookupEdit_SearchMode_AutoComplete_complete

When the dropdown is open, the automatic completion feature is disabled but the editor allows you to perform an incremental search in the same manner as when SearchMode.OnlyInPopup mode is active.

AutoFilter

Enables the incremental filtering feature. When you type within the edit box, the editor automatically opens the dropdown window and displays only records whose RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.DisplayMember field value starts with the characters typed. Other records are not displayed. If you enter a value that does not match any record, the dropdown window will not contain any rows.LookupEdit_SearchMode_AutoFilter
