The Suggest property applies to Edit controls. Enabling the Suggest property in an Edit control will cause a list of possible values for that control to be displayed when entering data.
The Suggest property can be enabled over Edit controls themselves or over attributes. If it is applied to an attribute, the Suggest property will be enabled by default everywhere the attribute is used.
| No | No suggestion list is shown |
| OnRequest | The user manually makes a request to calculate suggestions |
| Incremental | The list is updated as the user enters data |
The Suggest property applies to Edit controls and can be used in transactions (attributes) as well as in Web and Work panels (variables). Enabling the Suggest property in an Edit control will cause a list of possible values for that control to be displayed when entering data. The suggestions list can be calculated in an incremental way (the list is updated as the user enters data), or by making requests (the user manually makes a request to calculate suggestions). The list updates are asynchronous and calculation times depend on the quality of the connection.
The Suggest property can be enabled over Edit controls themselves or over attributes. If it is applied to an attribute, the Suggest property will be enabled by default everywhere the attribute is used. On the other hand, the suggest property can be only used over char or varchar attribute or variables., otherwise the following specification error will be shown:
spc0112 ("Item value %1 for control %2 must be [https://wiki.genexus.com/commwiki/servlet/wiki?6777,Character+data+type,|Character data type] or [https://wiki.genexus.com/commwiki/servlet/wiki?6778,VarChar+data+type,|VarChar data type]")
This property is independent of the InputType property. However, it is advisable to read the InputType property documentation first because using both properties will make it easier to create friendly user interfaces. Read more information about how these features can work together.
