Spacer in Auto Prepend for an auto complete control
Hi All,
I have an auto complete displaying username and userid . My requirement is while displaying username it should be formatted as (Name:<space><username>). I am able to display as (Name:<username>) by using the Auto Prepend and Auto Append options available in UI properties.
Can you let me know how to display space after colon?
Please find attached screen showing the configuration i did to display in the format needed without space.

Hi,
Let me explain what i am looking for with the example from your screenshot. In your screenshot auto1.png, display is
(Name:<some ABC>:
My requirement is, i should be able to display as below:
Name: <some ABC>
You see the difference? there should be a space after Name: and before <some ABC> value.
We usually use <html> tags like  , </t> etc to display the space. So, how can i give such html tags in "AutoPrepend" field?
Hope i am clear!!! Request your support.
Is it possible to do? Anyone has any ideas?

If you are using a report definition to retrieve the values for you dropdown, you could use a function alias to prepend the space to the name values returned by the report. I believe a function alias to do that already exists, and if not, it would be pretty simple to write.
