UseComboBoxes Property

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the recognition engine should generate combo box controls for entry fields with multiple field choice values.

object.UseComboBoxes as Integer

Note

A combo box control combines the features of a TextBox control and drop down list — users can enter information in the text box or select an item from the list portion of the control.

The recognition engine will automatically generate a combo box control when it identifies an entry field associated with multiple field choice values on the host screen. Setting this property to False for the form will prevent combo box controls from being generated. A text box will be generated instead.

An entry field on a form with UseComboBoxes set to True.

The same field on a form with UseComboBoxes set to False.

Note:

Changing this property at run-time will cause the dynamic recognition engine to recreate the form and will result in the loss of any data that has been entered by the user. This property should not be changed within the Form events OnReceive or OnRefresh.
