Hi,

I have problem with getting seleted dataitem to controller from AutoComplete. This work only in popup editor on grid, but with Ajax.BeginForm not :(, I don't know how popup editor submit data to controler but it send complete dataitem. If I use AutoComplete on Window in Ajax.BeginForm it send only string value.

Please can you help me with this. I don't want use ComboBox.

 

Best regards,

Ludek

Hello Ludek,

By design the AutoComplete does not have a dataValueField configuration option (only dataTextField) and submits only its selected text value. If in addition to the text value you want to access a different property value (Id for example) we can suggest getting the value from the dataItem in the AutoComplete's select event and saving in a hidden field that you can then access in the controller.
