Using AutoComplete and InstantLookup Entry Mode together

Hi,

You can't combine the AutoComplete and InstantLookup EntryMode togehter. You can only use either AutoComplete or InstantLookup. When using the InstantLookup, user can still filter when typing text by pressing enter. The OnKeyDown property has a different behaviour that it can run after you type two letters so it's not really fit to use that event. You can try to filter by using the InitializeDataSource event and set the AllowAutoQueryHandler property to false.

Using AutoComplete and InstantLookup Entry Mode together

Hi,

I have a situation where i want to use the AutoComplete and InstantLookup Entry Mode together.

I mean following is the situation.

User may know the value -> In this case the user will type value and press tab and the value will be selected automatically. At present this is happening very fine.
User may not know the value -> In this case the user will type text and wait for auto complete or filter to happen in order to select from a filtered list.

I have set the EntryMode = InstantLookup at present.

Can you please provide a workaround using javascript where i can post to server on the Keydown event on webcombo? This event should filter the list in the combo.

Thanks,

Huzefa
