Parameters
- String
- String
The string to complete.
Returns
An AutoComplete match from the list.
Examples
The following code example enters the string "Smith" into cell B1, and then uses the AutoComplete method to find an AutoComplete match for the string "Smi". This code example assumes that the current worksheet contains an XmlMappedRange named CustomerLastNameCell
. The AutoComplete match will be found if CustomerLastNameCell
is in cell B2.
private void DisplayAutoCompleteResult()
{
this.Range["B1", missing].Value2 = "Smith";
string autoString = this.CustomerLastNameCell.AutoComplete("Smi");
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(autoString))
{
MessageBox.Show("No AutoComplete results were found.");
}
else
{
this.CustomerLastNameCell.Value2 = autoString;
}
}
Private Sub DisplayAutoCompleteResult()
Me.Range("B1").Value2 = "Smith"
Dim autoString As String = Me.CustomerLastNameCell.AutoComplete("Smi")
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(autoString) Then
MsgBox("No AutoComplete results were found.")
Else
Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Value2 = autoString
End If
End Sub
Remarks
If there is no AutoComplete match or if more than one entry in the list matches the string to complete, this method returns an empty string.
This method works even if the AutoComplete feature is disabled.
