AllowWildCardSearch is a feature that allows wildcard/fuzzy logic searching. For example: if user inputs “rio” in the search field, WebCombo will search for data that contains the word “rio”.

By default, WebCombo will search its data list from the first character based on the user's input. For example: if user inputs "a" in the search field, WebCombo will search for data that begins with the character "a".

By setting this property to True, users will be able to perform fuzzy logic searching without has to add * in the input text.

Hi,

we know the wildcard functionality, anyway we would use another searching logic that uses the '*' char in order to search using:

rio*   -> all items that start with 'rio'

*rio* -> all items that contain 'rio'

Thanks,

Since you are about to override the default searching behavior of WebCombo, I’d like to suggest you to implement the requery method for your specific scenario.

Please kindly check the detail, Walkthrough: Implementing requery method using traditional DataSource, in WebCombo 4 documentation.
