AutoCompleteBox show all options on click

[Silviu]

I have an autoCompleteBox fed with values from an XML file that I want to display all possible options when a user clicks into it (i.e. without them typing any letters in there)

<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="racbUserAccessList" runat="server"  Width="300"
   DropDownHeight="150" EmptyMessage="Select User Access" DataTextField="Text" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1"
   AllowCustomEntry="False">
 </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>
 <asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="XmlDataSource1" DataFile="accessList.xml"></asp:XmlDataSource>

 

How to do that?

Hello Silviu,

You can check the following KB article that shows how to show all records when focusing the AutoCompleteBox' input:
