Atlas control AutoCompleteExtender is not very impressive
So this week is complaining about controls week. Sometimes looking around and playing with controls you find things that just does not make sense. This time, how can Microsoft release their AutoComplete control without any features? Even worse, how is that does not even support HTML? It’s just a listcontrol! More than 2 years ago, people were using <div> to create those controls and then you could make it any size, color, fonts or add your own HTML to show a picture inside the autocomplete control. Why is Microsoft releasing such a boring control?
Now, why don’t you inherit the classes AutoControlExtender, AutoControlProperties and design your own? Well there is not much or none documentation about extending extenders. So my best bet should be looking at the javascript. Lots of work this weekend. I’ll keep you inform.
Cheers
Al
