[Solved] AutoCompleteEditor & Custom class

[Jernej]

Hy,

is any way, for DataForm and EditorType.AutoCompleteEditor, that AutoCompleteEditor has list of custom class and not list of string?


Example:

I have classes for Book and Worker, I would like to use for author AutoComplete whick have list of WorkerRecord.

public class BookRecord{

    [DataSourceKey("BookName")]
    string Name;

    [DataSourceKey("Author")]
    WorkerRecord author;
}

public class WorkerRecord{
    string Name;
    string Surname;
}

 

this.dataForm.RegisterEditor("BookName", EditorType.TextEditor);
this.dataForm.RegisterEditor("Author", EditorType.AutoCompleteEditor);

 

Tnx for all information.

Regards,
Jernej

Hi Jernej,

You'll find two examples for such use cases on your PC, located where you installed UI for Xamarin. If you used the default installation location, you'll find the solution here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for Xamarin R3 2017\Examples\XamarinForms\SDKBrowser.sln

Once you open the solution in Visual Studio, drill down to the Portable > Examples > DataForm > Editors folder and you'll find the examples. Here, you'll see how to use the PropertyDataSourceProvider and DataSourceKeyAttribute.
