Public Property CaseSensitiveSearch As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	**false**	true if an incremental search is case sensitive; otherwise false.

Remarks

A lookup editor enables users to perform an incremental search, i.e. locate rows by values of a particular field.

The CaseSensitiveSearch property controls whether the incremental search should be case sensitive or not.

When incremental search is enabled, typing within the editor locates a row whose field value starts with the text typed. The RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.SearchMode property allows you to choose incremental search mode. Refer to this topic for more information.
