Preserve filter on multi-column combobox

[y2kdis]

Hi,

I have two mc comboboxes in my form. Making a selection on the first one activates a composite filter on the second one so the latter will list fewer items. That works fine when the user clicks on its down arrow to display the now filtered listing. But when the user starts typing on its textbox editor, the list goes away instead of doing a further search or filtering.

Is this a bug or by design?

Thank you,

Sid

Hi Sidky,

Thank you for the provided details.

I have tried to reproduce this behavior but to no avail. I think that I am missing something from your case. You can find a sample project which I think mimics your scenario. Can you check it out and let me know what I need to modify to reproduce this? When you run the project select the second item from the top MCCB control. This will add FilterDescriptor to the second MCCB to show only the item which contains the letter "B". Then if I click on the dropdown I can see that the filter is working correctly. If I start typing something else in the textbox the filter will be removed and a new filter will be applied to the control depending on the typed string.
