StringConverter with StandardValuesSupported and Autocompletion
- by Marqus
I want to develop a StringConverter with standard values, which after attaching it to a PropertyGrid will act like comboBox with autocompletion. The example below will give me a comboBox, but without the autocompletion - user have to expand it and choose manually one of the items. Is there a way to allow user to type the beginning of one of the options, so the combobox will automatically select the matching one?
public class ConverterSample : System.ComponentModel.StringConverter
{
public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
//true means show a combobox
return true;
}
public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
return false;
}
public override TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
return new StandardValuesCollection(new List<string>(){"Stack", "overflow", "rules");
}
List returned by GetStandardValues has to be dynamic, so I can't use any enum there.
I took above example from: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/dropdownproperties.aspx
