AutoCompleteBox with Floating Label same as a RadWatermarkTextBox?

[Evangelista]

Hi,

Would it be possible to have an editable AutoCompleteBox TextBox Part to mimic the RadWatermarkTextBox with floating Label?

Hello Evangelista,

To achieve this requirement, you could subscribe to the Loaded event of the RadAutoCompleteBox control and retrieve the RadWatermarkTextBox element using the ChildrenOfType extension method. On it, set the KeepLabelFloated property to True and the Label property to the desired value.

The following code snippet shows this suggestion's implementation:

private void radAutoCompleteBox_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    RadWatermarkTextBox radWatermarkTextBox = ((RadAutoCompleteBox)sender)
        .ChildrenOfType<RadWatermarkTextBox>()
        .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "WatermarkTextBox");

    if (radWatermarkTextBox != null)
    {
        radWatermarkTextBox.KeepLabelFloated = true;
        radWatermarkTextBox.Label = "Floating Label";
    }
}

With this being said, could you give this suggestion a try and let me know how it goes?
