Hi,
I have a drop down list bound to a database thorugh a data reader. It reads
the customer names from data reader.
Now, I want the user to be able to type more than one alphabet & the list
becomes shorter & shorter for the user to choose a value from. For example,
suppose the user wants to select the name "Michael" from the dop down list .
So when he tabs over & reaches this drop down list, he types "Mi" , then all
the names beginning with "Mi " are displayed . When he ttypes "Mic", then the
drop down list becomes shorter & all the names beginning with "Mic" are
displayed.
The drop down list which I have now allows typing only the first letter &
not subsequent letters. Presently, if a user types "M" , then all names
beginning with M are displayed but when the user types the next letter "i"
(from "Michael) , then the list shows all the letters beginning with "I"
rather than beginning with "Mi".
How to go about doing this?
Thanks

You can't find this kind of functionality in the standard controls. You
have to either write your own control or buy it from a third party, i
know infragistics WebCombo has that.
Standard HTML does not support such a control, however it can be faked
fairly effectively with client side script.
Here's a free control that does what you describe, and the source code is
freely available in case you'd like to enhance it: http://www.metabuilders.com/tools/ComboBox.aspx

Hi,
Even tough I was able to implement what I want in a weird and non efficient
way, I would like to get an opinion what is the right way to achieve my task:
Scenario:
• Display a DataGrid that contains rows from a table from a databse (so far
easy).
• I would like to add a column to the DataGrid that will be a drop-down list
so the user will be able to select a value from a pre-defined list of values

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
