    Hi guys,

    This is gonna be my first post here.

    I just like a to create a textbox with same behaviour as Outlook 2007/GMail, when you create a new mail, there is "To.." textboxt, when you type something,

    - it provide you a list of person name/email, when you select from the list, it will be underline and no way to edit it, except to delete it and enter an new.
    - then when you use a seperator like semicolon ";" when you type again it also provide you a list of person name/email

    Can someone point me where or how can i accomplish something like that.
    I hope this is available on AJAX or any form.

     

    Thank you very much.

    That's an interesting question I was asking myself recently.

    Have you tried the DelimiterCharacters property of the AutoComplete ajax control on http://www.asp.net/AJAX/Control-Toolkit/Live/AutoComplete/AutoComplete.aspx ?

    DelimiterCharacters - Specifies one or more character(s) used to separate words. The text in the AutoComplete textbox is tokenized using these characters and the webservice completes the last token.

    yeah, but still too far for what i want.

    I bumped to the MS Outlook Text Box Object, which usually the one that they are using, but the problem is i could not find any sample code. =(, hope someone can give me a sample code for this.

     Hi,

    As far as I know, there is no such powerful web control in ajax controlToolkit. And it's hard to give better suggestions than oudoulj had given.

    May be you can refer to this thread to see if you can get some hints. 

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there is a control "OlkTextBox" Which functions same way as you are looking for .. Outlook.OlkTextBox textbox = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlkTextBox(); textbox.Text = "using ol = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;"; textbox.BorderStyle = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlBorderStyle.olBorderStyleNone; textbox.BackColor = 192; textbox.Enabled = false; MSForms. ictrl = textbox as MSForms.Control; ictrl.Visible = true;
