Combo Box Cell Type Docs Update

There is one small correction to the Spread for Windows Forms docs. In the ComboBoxCellType class in FarPoint.Win.Spread and in the FpComboBox class in FarPoint.Win (and also in the "Setting a Combo Box Cell" topic in the Developer's Guide) we are going to add a better explanation of the AutoSearch property and Enabled property and how they work together in a future release.

The setting of the AutoSearch property only applies when Editable is false. It can be None (for when Editable is true, or if you don't want any matching when Editable is false), MultiChar (for matching multiple characters), or SingleChar (for matching only the first character). The Editable property can be True or False. If False, then you can use AutoSearch. If True, AutoSearch has no effect and is ignored. And the drop-down list does a multiple-character search automatically if typing matches something on the list (as combo boxes by default do) and it does nothing if there is no match in the list.

We just thought we would clarify that. We will have the updated text in the docs in a future maintenance release. If you have an opinion about seeing doc efforts mentioned in the blog, leave a comment or contact us as fpdocs@farpointspread.com.
