Change AutoComplete to "full text" search?

[Spam Catcher]

Is it possible to change the autocomplete behaviour to search for the word
instead of just checking for the prefix?

For example, if I have the following items:

Big Mac
Quarter Pounder
Cheeseburger

and someone types: Pounder, it should display "Quarter Pounder"?

Thanks!

For instance, try this:

Private Sub TextBox1_TextCh anged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArg s) Handles TextBox1.TextCh anged
If TextBox1.Text = "Pounder" Then
TextBox1.Text = "Quarter Pounder"
End If
End Sub

How is that going to help me in an autocomplete situation?

I know it's not directly related to AutoComplete property but this can
give you an urgent solution that makes text field as you wish if typer
writes "Pounder" then textbox becomes "Ouarter Pounder" because of
textbox's text_changed event, i hope you tried it.

Unfortunately its not what I'm really looking for - I would like to have
the autocomplete list populated with suggestions like what Google Suggests
does.

If I only handle the TextChange event ... it'll be too much of a kudlge to
be rewriting the user's input on the fly? I rather be able to display the
suggestions in the autocomplete portion of the control.

But, thanks for the suggestion!

Textbox has its own Autocomplete functionallity.

As an example:

Me.TextBox1.Aut oCompleteCustom Source.AddRange (New String() {"One", "Two",
"Three"})
Me.TextBox1.Aut oCompleteMode = System.Windows. Forms.AutoCompl eteMode.Suggest
Me.TextBox1.Aut oCompleteSource =
System.Windows. Forms.AutoCompl eteSource.Custo mSource

The AutoCompleteCus tomSource can be populated in pretty much any way you
want as long as it is an array of strings. Get it from database or where
ever.

Hope this is what you are looking for

Yes, I know - but AutoComplete only search the PREFIX of the entries.

As you see in my example, if you populate the autocomplete source with:

Big Mac
Quarter Pounder
Cheeseburger

and someone types in Pounder... it won't display Quarter Pounder as a
suggestion...

That's my problem - not how to populate the autocomplete datasource.

I want to override/rewire the AutoComplete functionality in Winform
Controls - if someone can point me in the right direction, that'll be
great!

Thanks.
