AutoCompleteExtender TextBox CompletionList Width Ajax ASP.NET

Set AutoCompleteExtender TextBox CompletionList Width And Style With CSS Ajax ASP.NET. In this example i am setting Width of Completion List in Ajax AutoComplete Extender TextBox.

The default behavior of completion list takes width equal to the width of textbox. we can change this behavior by applying some CSS style to set the width we want. default width is as shown below in the Image.

 AutoCompleteExtender TextBox CompletionList Width And Style With CSS
I have also explained how to implement AutoComplete Extender TextBox In EditItemTemplate Of GridView

I have also created example to Add Progress Image in Ajax AutoComplete TextBox




In AutoComplete Extender default width of completion list is equals to the width of textbox, to fix this issue write the CSS script mentioned below in Head section of html source of page
<head runat="server">
    <title>Progress Image in AutoComplete TextBox</title>
<style>
        .AutoExtender
        {
            font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
            font-size: .8em;
            font-weight: normal;
            border: solid 1px #006699;
            line-height: 20px;
            padding: 10px;
            background-color: White;
            margin-left:10px;
        }
        .AutoExtenderList
        {
            border-bottom: dotted 1px #006699;
            cursor: pointer;
            color: Maroon;
        }
        .AutoExtenderHighlight
        {
            color: White;
            background-color: #006699;
            cursor: pointer;
        }
        #divwidth
        {
          width: 150px !important;    
        }
        #divwidth div
       {
        width: 150px !important;   
       }
 </style>
</head>
The code in bold is setting the width of completion list, you can change the dimensions according to your needs.

Now Put a div with id "divwidth" above the html source of autocomplete extender
<div ID="divwidth"></div>

and add this line in autocomplete extender HTML source

CompletionListElementID="divwidth"

The complete html source of AutoComplete Extender will look like
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAutoComplete" runat="server" Width="252px">
</asp:TextBox>   
<div ID="divwidth"></div>
<ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender runat="server" 
             ID="AutoComplete1"
             BehaviorID="autoComplete"
             TargetControlID="txtAutoComplete"
             ServicePath="AutoComplete.asmx" 
             ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"
             MinimumPrefixLength="1" 
             CompletionInterval="10"
             EnableCaching="true"
             CompletionSetCount="12"
             CompletionListCssClass="AutoExtender"
             CompletionListItemCssClass="AutoExtenderList"
             CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass
             ="AutoExtenderHighlight"
             CompletionListElementID="divwidth">
<ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender>

And this is how the AutoComplete TextBox will look like
AutoComplete List Width CSS style

Thanks Alot My problem Regarding Auto TextBox Control Sovled

Hi,
Thanks very much.
You can get scrolling to work with this:
#divwidth
{
width: 700px !important;
height: 200px;
overflow-y:scroll;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
#divwidth div
{
width: 700px !important;
}

Just be sure your TextBox does not have AutoPostBack="true" or the page will fire when you click on the scrollbar.
