AutoComplete Virtualization

The ASP.NET MVC AutoComplete supports virtualization for those of you dealing with large sets of data. For faster performance, it initially renders a fixed number of items and when scrolled loads the rest of them and displays them in the same format.
Templates

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC AutoComplete component provides full control over the way items, headers and footers look. This is possible thanks to the three types of templates – Item Template, Header Template and Footer Template.

RTL Support

The AutoComplete component, like many others from the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC suite, supports RTL configuration. The RTL functionality is supported by most of our components to respond to users who communicate through a right-to-left language such as Arabic or Hebrew.

See Demo
Keyboard Navigation

The AutoComplete is one of the many components in the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC suite with keyboard navigation support. You can use the arrows to navigate between the items in the list, you can press enter to select the highlighted item or use page up/page down to scroll further through the list.

Theming

To make the AutoComplete component fit to your client’s design requirements you can style it by choosing from multiple built-in themes and swatches the component comes with. Some of them include Default (our own styling), Material (based on the Material Design guidelines), Bootstrap (which resembles the Bootstrap styling to integrate better) and Fluent (based on Microsoft Fluent UI). If you like you can further customize the available themes with a few lines of CSS or by using the Progress SASS ThemeBuilder.
