Hi Oscar,
Thank you for writing.
This can be easily achieved by adding a new
RadListDataItem to the collection filling your
RadAutoCompleBox. You only have to extract the correct string from the editor. Please check my code snippet below:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private RadListDataItemCollection items;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.items = this.radAutoCompleteBox1.AutoCompleteItems;
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Joe Smith"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Adam Petersen"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Jack Russel"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Daniel Finger"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Richard Vail"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Sebastian Jonnson"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Lee Cooper"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Kelvin Clain"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Maria Jenson"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Chelsea Maarten"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Jenson Chew"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Martin Williams"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Telerik"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("James Stone"));
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Samuel Jackson"));
}
private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int lastIndexOfToken = this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.LastIndexOf(";");
string newItem;
if (lastIndexOfToken > 0)
{
newItem = this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.Substring(lastIndexOfToken + 1);
}
else
{
newItem = this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Text;
}
this.items.Add(new RadListDataItem(newItem));
}
}
I am also sending you a short video showing the result on my end.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
