Autocomlete box and multiple dimensional search

[Eyal]

Hello Telerik Team,

 

Can  RadAutoCompleteBox  control support multiple dimension source such as a DataTable ?

 

If it does, can you send us an example ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Avishay,

Thank you for contacting us.

The RadAutoCompleteBox control does not support an ItemsSource of type DataTable - it expects its data source to be of type IEnumerable.

However, the control provides a way to customize its filtering behavior ( through the FilteringBehavior property), so actually you can take the items and manually filter them from any datasource you need. 

I have attached a very simple project demonstrating the approach. Note the CustomFilteringBehavior class - the FindMatchingItems method should return a list of the filtered items.

Hope this helps.
