I am trying to use TAdvSearchEdit as searchable combo box.
I am experiencing some annoyances which makes it difficult to use it as combo.
1. When I type complete text in edit field, it is not possible to select item from dropdown with mouse or navigation keys.
2. ItemIndex is not always in sync with selected item in dropdown. Sometimes is -1 when there is Item 0 selected (with autoselect). Then it shows 0 when no text in search field and no item selected by autoselect (should be -1). This behavior is easy to see when using delete key.
Thanks for your feedback.
We have applied improvements for this. The next update will address this.
Ive also noticed issues with ItemIndex. It seems to report -1 when you select an item from the dropdown. Maybe you could have a :-
ItemIndex - this is the selected item from the whole list
FilteredItemIndex - this is the selected item from the filtered DisplayList
Also make Filtered/DisplayList public? so you can access these items??
Just a thought??
We have applied improvements with respect to handling ItemIndex.
We'll discuss other possible extensions here when planning the next version.
