grid with auto complete cell

Hello,

I want to plug in autocomplete (filtering) functionality into cell of dhtmlxgrid.

Then,if i type 'k' in cell of grid,grid show start with 'k' character word loading from server dynamically(XML),for example koala,karade etc..

Presently i am using 1.5 pro version . Is it possible?.

As per example shown here didnot gave good idea how to plug in the combo cell in to dhtmlxgrid.


Can i use the following to achieve the same?
1) Declare the "co" cell
2)combo= mygrid.getCombo(cellindex);
3) combo.setEnableAutoFilteringMode(true,sometest.do,true);

Can i restrict combo to fetch the data from server only after user enter 3 characters ?. not single character.


it will be great if you provide me good example or code snippets.

Thanks
Naren

It can be done with "combo" excell type. Please find example here http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/13_interaction_other_components/01_pro_combo.html. In this exampe 1st and 3rd columns work in autocomplete mode.
