I need to implement the AutoComplete functionality to the textBoxes.
I know similar questions have been asked before, but they're all using a list of the optional items that matches the starting character.
But I want something similar to what in Excel sheet.
For example:
If you typed in a cell word (Medicine)
If you wrote in a different cell in same column, "M" letter it shows an autocomplete word (Medicine) but the "edicine" is highlighted/Selected till you press enter, it accepts it.
I don't want the list thing because it rude my xaml because it has a lot of textBoxes in in Grid with multiple rows and columns.
Any help please?
I found the solutions days ago. From telerik there is a control RadAutoCompleteBox does exactly what I need.

I have previously known an excel short-cut command that popped up an window where one could select a layout for a range of cells in the worksheet. There were many selections and several of them were quite beautiful. The layout would change the background color of the heading (first row selected), and format the first column and the cells in the body respectively.
I'm not talking about making tables or the table formatter, also it was only accessible through the shortcut command as far as I know (which I've now forgotten). Does anyone recall what I mean and could that person please share? I've been trying to remember it for some time now.
I believe what you first need to do is enable Excel to recognise your table. Take a look at my screenshot above!
By using Alt + O + A one will get up the AutoFormat window.
I can usually find an answer to the problems I'm having via a quick google search, but this one I'm struggling to even form the question in order to locate an answer.
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to use Excel Tooltips to display cell data. For example, on mouse over: a tooltip appears displaying the cell values from selected cells, preferably with some plain text but not essential.
i.e. I have an overview table which simplifies data from another table but want said cell values to appear on mouse over.
I have been using MSWord 2010 to compose list of questions. These questions are organized in single MSWord document, using numbering - 1. first question, etc...
I was wondering could contents of each bullet be transffered to MSExcel cell? So if i have 20 questions, i would have cell with 20 rows, each containing one question.
I am asking this because i have 300 questions that i want to import to excel.
It's possible to copy your numbered bullets from Excel to Word and then break them up using Excel worksheet functions. However, it's real easy to just do it with the built-in Excel commands.
In Word:
Increase the width on the hanging indent on your numbered list. It will make the conversion in Excel easier to deal with.
Select your bullets and copy them.
In Excel:
"Paste Special" the copied text into Excel using the Match Destination Formatting option.
Select the cells you pasted the bullets by the number of digits in the bullets (i.e., first do 1-9, then do 10-99, etc.)
With the cells selected, choose the Text to Columns command from the Data tab on the ribbon.
Make sure that the 'Fixed Width" radio box is selected on the dialogue box that comes up, then move to the next step.
Adjust the break lines so that there are three fields: one with the number + period, another the spaces between the numbers and text, the third the text.
Moving to the next step - select the second field (the spaces) and click the "Do not import column (skip) radio button.
Click finish and the bullets are imported.
The above answer is best if you have an already established list. The best workflow I've found for this is to create a table to work in, in word. That table then copies perfectly into cells in excel, allowing you to create a structure that will pass between the tow docs seamlessly.
I have a sheet in excel that is basically like a database (yes it has to be in excel unfortunately) and I want to design a simple form to display the records (the different column values in the rows). Usually MS is good with making widgets to do this but I cant seem to figure out how to write it in VBA (easily)
Basically I have a list of Names and ID#'s then some other columns that need to be filled in (address, order # etc) but I'd like the user to do this via a form rather than typing in excel. I created a small form in VBA, but now I cant link the columns to the textboxes in the form.
Anyone know of any code I can plug and play to do this.
Specifically I am using a ComboBox (for the list of names) and then a for loop searching through it to find the selection and updating data. But its a real pain.
plus I cant figure out how to put in a 'Next' button, which is really annoying me. Does anyone know how to change the comboBox value to the next row, if it is linked via RowSource
Have you considered the Form feature? You can find under the commands you can add to your QuickAccess toolbar.

My end goal is for "Find and Replace" to take an extra parameter and to show me a custom column in the "Results" table when I click "Find All".
When I search a spreadsheet for "value" and click "Find All", the dialog shows me the Book, Sheet, Name, Cell, Value, Formula for every cell that has "value" in it. But I want it to show me the contents of another cell in that row as well. I would like that cell to be from a column I specify when I enter the seach parameters.
I'm relatively new to programming, and am sure that I can figure out something with Python or AutoHotKey. But I would be surprised if there isn't a better way.
I don't want something that is associated with the spreadsheet or workbook specifically, so it needs to be part of Excel or stand alone (not a macro from what I understand). Is it possible to modify the Find and Replace dialog box in Excel?
A point in the right direction would be much appreciated, thanks!
It's not possible (at least with any sensible level of effort) to modify the built-in search functionality to add parameters and to display different output. You would need to create a similar tool in your language of choice and build in your new requirements.
