Returns or sets whether combo lists should support smart searches.
[form!]VSFlexGrid.ComboSearch[ = ComboSearchSettings ]
When ComboSearch is set to a non-zero value, the control search for entries and highlight them as the user types. This is similar to searching items on the grid using the AutoSearch property.
The ComboSearch capability makes data-entry substantially easier, especially when working with long lists.
The settings for the ComboSearch property are described below:
|
Constant |
