Autocomplete speed/delay

Hello,

It's strange how "little" UI features really annoy the users. We're producing a large .NET Winforms application. It uses VS2005 Combobox autocomplete.

The main complaint is that the autocomplete "restart" delay is too quick (pause to think and the autocomplete times out, and restarts...)

Does anyone know how to control the time delays in autocomplete (time between keypresses to restart the autocomplete search for example)

Thanks,

Dr Michael Dye

    I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted this; and no, we're no nearer to a solution. It's something people have begun to live with, which is such an unsatisfactory outcome!

    infragisitcs say its hard coded in their controls too.

  • Tom Luetz II

    Our users are complaining about this behaviour, its crazy that the delay is so short and (apparantly) not tweakable

    We also use infragistics toolset and this also seems to have inherited the same issue, I've cross posted in their fora too, will update here if there is anything relevant coming out of there.
