typing issue in Combobox Delphi XE2
Hi,
There is a Combobox with 100 items, is in a Delphi(XE2) form and both the drop down list and the auto complete is working fine while the user is typing the right text.
But when the users do a mistake and type a word which is not in the items then the auto complete does not perform well, especially when the users type fast, the form will be freeze, (not responding) and most of the times you end up shutting down the application.
Is there any solution to fix this.
Thanks

Try reducing the autocompletedelay value.
It's 500 ms by default, that means that the AutoComplete is performed starting from an empty filter when time between any keypress is >= half a second. If the user types fastest than the autocompletedelay time, then the procedure is executed again and again without reset of the internal filter and could crash into a form freezing.
