Hello,
I would like to extend my MultiColumnComboBox control by adding AutoComplete.
After browsing the site, I see a feature that seems to emulate autoComplete:
Filtering and Sorting
The Telerik WinForms MultiColumnComboBox control
supports as-you-type filtering which means that end users are able to
initiate fast search among items.
How is this Filtering and Sorting achieved? My goal is:
- Every time the user enters a new keyPress the list should filter on ANY column's data
- The closest or First matching row should be highlighted
- If they enter a partial result (Above they entered "ma") and hit the ENTER key, it should stick the First or Matching row's Value into the field
So, does the secret to this functionality lie in a
"FilterDescriptors"?
I found this code sample, but it does not appear to do what I want based on the above requirements:

Any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated!
