AutoComplete to GridDropDownColumn

[Gerry Polami]

Hello,
I have a grid with the GridDropDownColumn above :

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn HeaderStyle-Width="140" ItemStyle-Width="140" FooterStyle-Width="140"
              UniqueName="MCHAVER" DataField="MCHAVER" HeaderImageUrl="~/Skins/Gray/Grid/BursaMas.JPG" DropDownControlType="DropDownList"
                   ListTextField="Text" ListValueField="Key" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true"   />

I want to add AutoComplete  to this GridDropDownColumn.

How can i do it ?

Thanks,
Gerry

Hello Gerry,

In order to achieve this functionality, set DropDownControlType as RadComboBox and set AutoCompleteSeparator in ItemCreated event. Hope this helps.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

         {

            GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

            RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)editedItem["MCHAVER"].Controls[0] as RadComboBox;

            combo.MarkFirstMatch = true;         


        }

}

Also check the following help documentation which explains more about this.
Autocomplete.
