Combo box auto complete

[Gil Kalo]

Hi,

I''m trying to use the combo box auto complete.
When it is contained in a panel, this is working fine.
But when the panel become dockable, it stops working. It''s not possible to open the list, and the auto complete isn''t working.
Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Gil, The ParentForm property of the AutoCompleteControl of the ComboboxAutoComplete control is not being set when used with the DockingManager. This sample shows how you can take care of this as demonstrated in the following code snippet: private void panel1_Enter(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if(this.panel1.Parent != null && this.comboBoxAutoComplete1.AutoCompleteControl.ParentForm != this) { this.comboBoxAutoComplete1.AutoCompleteControl.ParentForm = this; this.comboBoxAutoComplete1.AutoCompleteControl.DataSource = this.itemsList; } } Regards Arun
