AutoComplete Winforms Search Not Working If Search Item Is One Character Digit In C#
Textbox properites: autocompletemode = append, autcompletesource = customsource. Assuming the autocompletestringcollection of the textbox are as follows:
James
Philipp
Mariah
Clara
8
Ryan
GregEsguerra
If you type the number 8 in the textbox, the textbox autocomplete does not suggest. As defined, it will search the prefix of the source. So, i guess one character does not have a prefix at all. The workaround for this is to
add a space character after the digit 8. So, "8" becomes "8 ". Below is the code:
GetWebsiteNamesLocal() is the method to retrieve websites from the database.
