Combox with Sequence on Item Property won't search

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a limitation? But I'm trying to use a ComboBox to select a number from 1 to 100, using:

Sequence(100)

on the the Items property of the ComboBox . I want the user to be able to start typing a number and have the dropdown jump to that number (autofill / predictive).

However, the Allow Searching property will not change to true, even with Allow Multiple Selections... Is this a known issue using number sequences in a ComboBox ? Is there another way to make this autofill / predictive search functionality work on a numbered ComboBox dropdown list?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @LeeB_CDN

The reason for this behaviour is because the ComboBox can search only text values. Sequence returns numeric values.

If you set the Items property of your ComboBox to the following, you can enable Search on the TextValue field.

ForAll(Sequence(100), {NumValue:Value, TextValue:Text(Value)} )

You can then retrieve the selected numeric value through the NumValue field (eg, ComboBox1.Selected.NumValue)
