I want to add further command to the context menu that appears when right-clicking on the RadAutoCompleteBox.

When I add a context menu flyout it appears in addition to the default context menu ("Copy, Paste, …"). This is confusing for the end-user.

I found many articles handling this question. In many cases it was suggested to influence the visual structure. But this seems not to be possible with Telerik UI for UWP.

Is there any way to influence, or to abandon the default menu? It would also be an option for me just to show my context menu.

RadAutoCompleteBox has a very useful property which is "SelectedItem". We can get the value of the chosen item from it. The problem is you can only get it. But what if we want to set the value of the selected item programmatically? Is there anything like "SelectedIndex", "SelectedValue", "Selecteditem"?

There is RadAutoCompleteBox.Text, but this only display the text and doesn't set the selected item.

We are trying to use a RadAutoCompleteBox on a Windows tablet. The use case is that a user needs to tap the field to open it and see all the results. This works fine. When the field is tapped, we do something like this...

After an item is selected, this event is fired

...the Telerik control puts the cursor (focus) back in the original field, which fires the _GotFocus event again, which opens the autocomplete list again.

In this cycle, it isn't possible to get the RadAutoCompleteBox to close.

Looking at the API i don't see any methods to explicitly close the list.

I could work around it if I could get any other event (non-GotFocus) to fire when the control is selected, but I haven't been able to get the RadAutoCompleteBox to respond to _Tapped or _Click type events.

Anyone have any ideas?

Requirements I'm Trying to Satisfy

- RadAutoCompleteBox must open on tap (whether there is data in the field or not)

- Selecting item should set the value and close the item list
