IAutoComplete2::SetOptions method (shldisp.h)

  • Article

Sets the current autocomplete options.

Syntax

HRESULT SetOptions(
  [in] DWORD dwFlag
);

Parameters

[in] dwFlag

Type: DWORD

One or more flags from the AUTOCOMPLETEOPTIONS enumeration that specify autocomplete options.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The TAB key is disabled by default because it is typically used to navigate from control to control, not within a control. If you set the ACO_USETAB flag in dwFlag, users can navigate to a string in the drop-down list by pressing the TAB key. If the drop-down list is closed, the TAB key allows the user to navigate from control to control, as usual. The user can close the drop-down list by pressing the ESC key.
