Declaration

C#

[DXCategory("Behavior")]
[DefaultValue(false)]

<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Overridable Property CaseSensitiveSearch As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	**false**	true if the auto completion feature is case sensitive, otherwise false.

Remarks

The auto completion feature enables the end-user to locate items from the dropdown list by typing their starting characters in the edit box. The CaseSensitiveSearch property specifies whether the combobox should distinguish between upper and lower case characters while looking for the matching item. If the property is set to true, the end-user has to type characters that match the case in order to select an item.

To enable the auto completion feature, set the RepositoryItemComboBox.AutoComplete property to true.
