Manually triggering filtering pass

[Tuukka]

Hi

I run into a small issue when using the RadAutoCompleteBox in our Windows Phone 8 app. We use the WebServiceAutoCompleteProvider to fetch the suggestion items from server, but in some cases it seems that the server response might be a little bit too slow. This seems to end up in a situation that filtering pass is initialized for the last received suggestions list before the updated list is returned by the server. As this is quite a rare case I would not like to increase the FilterDelay above the one second it is now. Instead, I would like to trigger the filtering manually if there is a delay in getting the server response, but there does
not seem to be a method for doing so. Is there some easy way to manually trigger filtering in this kind of case?

Br, TT

Hello,

Sorry for the late response.

I checked this scenario and there are two options. 

1. If you'd like to initially show the partially fetched suggestions, you can call the WebServiceAutoCompleteProvider.LoadSuggestions(..) and when the suggestions are updated to update the AutoCompleteBox, you can just call again the WebServiceAutoCompleteProvider.LoadSuggestions(..) method and pass the updated collection.
2. If you want to show the suggestions after the whole data is downloaded, you can wait untill it is available and then call the WebServiceAutoCompleteProvider.LoadSuggestions(..) just once.

Please, let me know if this meets your requirements.
