Remarks

To assist with data entry, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later and Netscape support a feature called AutoComplete. AutoComplete monitors a KaxTextBox and creates a list of values entered by the user. When the user returns to the KaxTextBox at a later time, the list is displayed. Instead of retyping a previously entered value, the user can simply select the value from this list. Use the AutoCompleteType property to control the behavior of the AutoComplete feature for a KaxTextBox control. The System.Web.UI.WebControls.AutoCompleteType enumeration is used to represent the values that you can apply to the AutoCompleteType property. Not all browsers support the AutoComplete feature. Check with your browser to determine compatibility.

By default, the AutoCompleteType property for a KaxTextBox control is set to AutoCompleteType.None. With this setting, the KaxTextBox control shares the list with other KaxTextBox controls with the same ID property across different pages. You can also share a list between KaxTextBox controls based on a category, instead of an ID property. When you set the AutoCompleteType property to one of the category values (such as AutoCompleteType.FirstName, AutoCompleteType.LastName, and so on), all KaxTextBox controls with the same category share the same list. You can disable the AutoComplete feature for a KaxTextBox control by setting the AutoCompleteType property to AutoCompleteType.Disabled.

Refer to your browser documentation for details on configuring and enabling the AutoComplete feature. For example, to enable the AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer version 5 or later, select Internet Options from the Tools menu, and then select the Content tab. Click the AutoComplete button to view and modify the various browser options for the AutoComplete feature.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the AutoCompleteType enumeration to specify the AutoComplete category for a KaxTextBox control. This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements.
