| FullText | Search according to the full text of the item's string representation. |
| None | Searching is disabled. |
Items are searched for according to their string representation which is determined by the WinComboBox control's DisplayFormat property. For example, let's assume that the WinComboBox has 3 columns and 3 items with the following values:
Plante, Martin, 34
Drimonakos, Mathieu, 24
Ledoux, Pierre-Luc, 25
If the DisplayFormat property is set to "%Column2% %Column1% %Column3%", the string representation of the items will be:
Martin Plante 34
Mathieu Drimonakos 24
Pierre-Luc Ledoux 25
Entering "p" in the WinComboBox control will select "Pierre-Luc Ledoux 25" rather than "Martin Plante 34" because the string representation of the items is used rather than the physical order of the values/colums. If the DisplayFormat had not been modified, "%Column1%, %Column2%, %Column3%", "Plante, Martin, 34" would have been selected and not "Ledoux, Pierre-Luc, 25".
The value of the CompareType property can influence the search behavior. By default, the CompareType property is set to ExactMatch, therefore cases and accents are respected. Setting the CompareType property to CaseInsensitive, AccentInsensitive, or Both will change the way in which items are searched for. For example, if the CompareType property is set to AccentInsensitive, accents contained in the string representation of an item will be ignored, resulting in "ö" and "o" being considered as equal values.
