This Property specifies the filtering logic to be applied on the list of proposals.
The possible values for this property are:
0
No filtering is performed. The entire list of proposals is shown.
You should use this value is you wish to dynamically (re)load the list while the user types text in the field. You can (re)load the list of proposals during the NTF-CHANGED event.
1
Items are filtered with a "contains" logic. Only proposals that contain the text typed in the field will be shown. The match is case insensitive. This is the default filtering logic.
2
Items are filtered with a "starts with" logic. Only proposals that start with the text typed in the field will be shown. The match is case insensitive.
