CanAutocompleteSelectItems doesn't seem to do anything

[danparker276]

With the settings below, it always seems to auto complete for me.  Say I have a value of 20 (list of strings) in my combo box.  If I type '2'  a zero is always put after no matter what I set the CanAutocompleteSelectItems to .  It's also seems to work very differently on different computers sometimes showing the rest of the item selected, and sometimes not.  I'm working on reproducing more issues.  In one case some valid values are '1', '18' and if I type in a '1' and tab out it would give me 18 instead of 1.  I haven't been able to reproduce this on my machine yet.  It would also be nice if you just had an autocomplete box instead of having to guess on all the settings that change throughout different versions.

UPDATE: about '1', '18, if I change the order and but 18 before 1, that's when I get that error. Is there a way to do it without the order being like that?

Hello Telerik,

I have a similar issue, I put the property CanAutocompleteSelectItems to "false" but the RadComboBox continue to auto complete the text.

Is there a way to avoid that ?

I'm surprised to see that the above bug has been open since March 29, 2011 and is still not resolved.

Greetings,

Hi Laurent,

The issue with the CanAutocompleteSelectItems="False" was recently fixed and the fix is available in the Latest Internal Build and it will also be available in the Q3 2012 SP1 which is should be released at the end of the week. I am also attaching a video showing how it behaves. Please not that CanAutocompleteSelectItems="False" would still auto complete, but the auto completed item would not be selected. In order to stop the auto complete you can to set IsTextSearchEnabled="False".
Hope this will help.

All the best,

Hi Progress Telerik,

Currently we are facing the same issue in 2019.2.510.45 version.
CanAutocompleteSelectItems="False"
CanKeyboardNavigationSelectItems="False"
Both properties are not working. Kindly help us.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Muhammad,

Thank you for the description.

Both of these settings require the dropdown menu to be open in order for them to work as intended.

By setting CanAutocompleteSelectItems="False" and when the dropdown is open, you can search for items without the item being selected, only highlighted. When the property is set to True, the search will select the item.

By setting CanKeyboardNavigationSelectItems="True" and by using the arrow keys, will actually change the selected item when the dropdown is open. When the property is set to False, the item will be highlighted during navigating.

Attached, you can find a sample project where I've used a TextBox in which you can observe the behavior between the different settings.

Please, let me know if that answers your question.
