Can autocomplete be enabled on a GridViewTextBox Column at all if so how do you go about it we are using Q2 2013 cant upgrade at present?

Hello David,

Thank you for contacting Telerik support

Yes you can use autocomplete in RadGridView. To achieve this first you can change the editor type to RadTextBoxControlEditor which has built-in autocomplete functionality. This can be done in the EditorRequired event handler. Then you can use the CellEditorInitialized event to configure the autocomplete parameters.

Sample Implementation of this is available in the attached project.

Let me know if you have additional questions.
