Syntax

<Edit control>.ConfigureAssistedInput(<Parameter> , <Value>)

<Edit control>: Control name

Name of the edit control to use.

<Parameter>: Integer constant

Parameter to modify:
aiDelay Timeout before triggering the completion. This timeout is expressed in milliseconds. By default, the timeout is set to 200 milliseconds.
aiFilter Filter that will be used for the assisted input. It is a "Starts with" filter by default.
This filter can correspond to one of the following values:
filterContains "Contains" filter.
filterDifferent "Is different from" filter.
filterDoesNotContain "Does not contain" filter.
filterDoesNotEndWith "Does not end with" filter.
filterDoesNotStartWith "Does not start with" filter.
filterEndsWith "Ends with" filter.
filterEqual "Is equal to" filter.
filterGreater "Is greater than" filter.
filterGreaterOrEqual "Is greater than or equal to" filter.
filterLess "Is less than" filter.
filterLessOrEqual "Is less than or equal to" filter.
filterNone Disables the automatic filter used by the assisted input. The filter must be performed manually.
filterStartsWith "Starts with" filter.
aiWidthListBox Width of the list of options (expressed in pixels). By default, this width corresponds to the width of the input area.
aiAutomaticOpening Configures the automatic opening for the list of choices:
True to open the list automatically,
False not to open the list automatically. in this case, the list can be opened by <Edit>.OpenAssistedInput.
The list is automatically opened by default.
aiNoCase Taking the case and the accented characters into account:
True to ignore the case and the accented characters.
False to take the case and the accented characters into account.
The case and the accented characters are ignored by default.
aiMinSize Number of characters in input before opening the list of choices. By default, the list of choices is opened as soon as the first character is entered.

<Value>: Type corresponding to the value to modify

New value for the parameter.

Remarks

If <Edit>.ConfigureAssistedInput is called on a edit control, the option "Assisted input based on data binding" is automatically enabled on this control ("Details" tab of the control description window).
The list containing the choices is not opened immediately. To do so:
- the user must type a value that matches the beginning of one of the suggestions in the list,
- <Edit>.OpenAssistedInput must be called.
If the edit control is linked to a data file:
- only the default filter ("Starts with" filter) is available.
- the linked item must be key (faster iteration).
