Solution 2

Possible, but make no sense and would lead to confusing UI. It simply means your control should not be a text box. It should be a combo box.

A textbox can be an autocomplete box too though.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 24-Feb-14 3:20am

Yes, of course. But not with condition "only autocomplete values allowed", which renders such control useless, as a text box.

Of course. That is why they have drop downs. :)

Agreed in principle. A 5.
