The issue hasn't been addressed in the 2011.2.11.831 build - the control, when selecting from an unbound list, still allows for the entry of whatever text the user would like.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a form.
- Add a RadDropDownList to the form.
- Add a RadTextBox to the form.
- Add the following code behind the form:
Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim a() As String = {"Test 1", "Test 2", "Test 3", "Test 4"}
With Me.RadDropDownList1
.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
.SelectedIndex = -1
.SelectedText = ""
.Items.Clear()
.Items.AddRange(a)
End With
End Sub
- Type "asdf" into the RadDropDownList
- Press tab.
- Text "asdf" remains in the list; autocomplete was never engaged; the control appears valid, even though nothing has been selected.
Please direct me to whatever build is required to address this issue, as it isn't available to me that I can see (and I've purchased the controls).
