DevExpress TcxDBLookupComboBox accent insensitive

Hy

I need some help for creating a custom component, derivated from TcxDBLookupComboBox, that allows AccentInsensitiveSearch.

This component already has the property TcxDBLookupComboBox.Properties.CaseSensitiveSearch.
When this property is false, it allows to press the letters of a word, and it finds the corresponding word, even if the list source is with capital letter or not.

But in Brazil, we have accents, and I'm obligated to press the letters with the right accentuation.
I didn't wanted to obligate the user to do that.
Today, if I don't press the right letter(with accent), it won't find the corresponding entry on the list source.

Could you help me on creating this property or another way to reach this behaviour?

Example: The word HAT, in portuguese is CHAPÉU.
If you make a sample that only works with this letter, I can adapt it to the other letters.

Thanks.

Hello

I understand that this is not a particular behaviour.
But that's where I need it most.

For sql statements, I'm using sql server, and I'm using collation with CaseInsensitive and AccentInsensitive.
So, for sql, that's not a problem at all.

I'll follow your tips and try to do something.
I'll be back for giving my experience.

Thanks for helping.
