QuickFilterField should show choices

Postby troydugger » Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:56 pm

When filtering on a column that has a limited number of possible choices, the QuickFilterField should provide a combobox to allow the user to pick one of the possible values instead of requiring them to type a portion of a possible choice. Of course, they should still be able to type into the field as normal.

Maybe InteliHints can be helpful in this case. I'll take a look.

Thanks,

Intelihints would probably do the trick, but the user still has to type something in the field when it would be easier to pick a choice since this component is likely to be more used by the mouse than the keyboard. Also, providing the list has benefits too. The user then knows more about the data he is filtering on. If he doesn't see a choice that he was expecting, then he may have done something wrong when he obtained the data.
