Description
Suggestion columns are used for searching indexed values. While typing, the closest matching suggestions are shown below the entered value in a list. As you type further, the list's suggestions are refined to a closer match.
The cWebColumnSuggestion class is a subclass of the regular cWebSuggestionForm, which means that it also inherits all of that class' features. The suggestion form is highly customizable, supporting multiple columns for the suggestion list and, incremental and full text search from multiple sources.
The logic for determining the suggestions shown in the list can be configured by setting the peSuggestionMode property.
If pbFullText is set to True, it will perform a full text search, which is optimized for SQL databases using the DataDictionary SQL filtering API.
Drag and Drop Support
This control can be used as a valid drop target by registering it as such in a cWebDragDropHelper object.
The supported actions for this control are: - C_WebDropOnControl
This allows the control to accept data dragged from elsewhere in the control (if configured that way) and can also be used to accept files when registered within a cWebDragDropFileHelper.
