C#bool Boolean = object.IgnoreCase;
VB.NETBoolean = object.IgnoreCase As Boolean
C++VARIANT_BOOL Boolean = object->IgnoreCase;
VARIANT_BOOL Boolean = object->GetIgnoreCase();
CHRESULT object->get_IgnoreCase(VARIANT_BOOL* Boolean);
VBBoolean = object.IgnoreCase As Boolean

Put

C#bool object.IgnoreCase = Boolean;
VB.NETobject.IgnoreCase = Boolean As Boolean
C++VARIANT_BOOL object->IgnoreCase = Boolean;
void object->PutIgnoreCase(VARIANT_BOOL Boolean);
CHRESULT object->put_IgnoreCase(VARIANT_BOOL Boolean);
VBobject.IgnoreCase = Boolean As Boolean

object

A SftMaskAutoComplete object.

Boolean

Defines whether the comparison to find matching autocomplete entries is case sensitive.

BooleanDescription
TrueThe comparison is case sensitive.
FalseThe comparison is not case sensitive.

Comments

The IgnoreCase property defines whether the comparison to find matching autocomplete entries is case sensitive.

If the AutoComplete.Contents property is set to contentsSftMaskFiles, contentsSftMaskDirs or contentsSftMaskFilesDirs, the IgnoreCase property is ignored as file/directory matching is not case sensitive.

Saved autocomplete entries are compared to the current control contents to find matching items, in preparation for display of the autocomplete list or the current suggestion. The built-in comparison is defined using the IgnoreCase property.

The Matching event can be used by an application to further reject or accept saved entries. The Accept parameter of the Matching event contains the result of the built-in comparison.
