Hi,

In the newest version of PowerBuilder 2022 R2 is added new functionality - autofiltering / autocomplete ( https://docs.appeon.com/pb/whats_new/Autocomplete_for_DDDW_DDLB.html?_gl=1*1k09ecc*_ga*NjM5MTU4MDguMTY5MzQ4ODU3Mg..*_ga_T68E593GTG*MTY5MzQ4ODU3MS4xLjEuMTY5MzQ4ODU3NS41Ni4wLjA.)

Maybe, there exist any sample application for using this feature?

You just set the AutoCompleteMode property.  It's not complicated feature that would really benefit a lot from a sample app.  Have you read the documentation?

You can edit itemchanged and/or itemerror event to disable or replace this message. Look in the help for the different return codes for this events,

Thank everybody for helping. I resolved this question and I enabled autocomplete on DropBoxDW in my application.

Pawel, How did you resolve this issue? I have the same problem... the user must select from the dropdown list, but the AutoCompleteMode option is awesome! I'm guessing you put a trap in the itemchanged event that makes sure a valid row (not 0) was selected?
