The filter prompt feature allows you to filter the items as you type while the filter bar is visible on the bottom part of the list area. Use the FilterBarPrompt property to specify the HTML caption being displayed in the filter bar when the filter pattern is missing. The FilterBarPromptPattern property specifies the pattern to filter the list. The IncrementalSearch property indicates the type of filtering.
