Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

[DXCategory("Events")]
public event LookUpEditAutoSuggestCompleteEventHandler AutoSuggestComplete

Event Data

The AutoSuggestComplete event's data class is DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.LookUpEditAutoSuggestCompleteEventArgs.

Remarks

In AutoSuggest mode, the Lookup editor fires the AutoSuggest event whenever a user enters text within it and dynamically changes the editor’s data source.

The AutoSuggestComplete event fires if the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.TextEditStyle property is set to Standard.

The code below focuses a suggestion in a drop-down list if this is the only suggestion found. As a result, a user can press Tab or Enter to select this suggestion, without having to press the Down arrow first.

void OnAutoSuggestComplete(object sender, LookUpEditAutoSuggestCompleteEventArgs e) {
    var edit = (LookUpEdit)sender;
    if (e.QuerySuggestions.Result.Count == 1) {
        var popup = edit.GetPopupEditForm();
        popup.SelectedIndex = 0;
    }
}

The following sample dynamically changes the drop-down panel height, depending on how many suggestions it shows.

void OnAutoSuggestComplete(object sender, LookUpEditAutoSuggestCompleteEventArgs e) {
    var form = ((LookUpEdit)sender).GetPopupEditForm();
    int recordCount = e.QuerySuggestions.Result.Count;
    if(recordCount < "10") {
    form.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(form.Width, recordCount*25);
    }
}
