autocomplete radcombobox on blur

[Loyal User]

i use this demo to create an autocomplete radcombobox, what i want is to select first item on blur and get its text ;

 combobox contains country code :
e.i.: when a user enter 908123 , i want to select '908 country name ' on blur event

Hi,

I guess that you want to select the first Item from the dropdown based on the text in the RadComboBox. Please have a look into the sample code snippet which works fine at my end.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Type an E-mail"
    AllowCustomText="true" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="ContactName"
    MarkFirstMatch="true" OnClientBlur="selectItem">
</telerik:RadComboBox>

JavaScript:

function selectItem(sender, args) {
    var firstChar = sender.get_text().charAt(0);
    var i, count = sender.get_items().get_count();
    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        if (sender.get_items().getItem(i).get_text().startsWith(firstChar)) {
            alert(sender.get_items().getItem(i).get_text());
            sender.get_items().getItem(i).select();
            break;
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
