Comments

The Refresh method updates or displays autocomplete information.

The Refresh method can be used to initiate display of autocomplete information under program control.

The Refresh method sets the input focus to the Masked Edit control and displays the available autocomplete information.

If the AutoComplete.Mode property is defined as autocompleteSftMaskSuggest or autocompleteSftMaskSuggestAppend, the list of suggestions is displayed or updated.

If the AutoComplete.Mode property is set to autocompleteSftMaskAppend, the first matching entry is used to complete the current input data.
