There seems to be a problem with AutoCompleteType = None for RadTextBox.
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2008 and RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX 2008.1.515 in IE 8 (with Emulate IE7 on).
When I set the AutoCompleteType to None, there's no apparent autocomplete function at all in either IE or Safari. Firefox does however show the autocomplete entries.
If I set AutoCompleteType to one of the preset values, it works as expected.

Hello Simon,
We tried to reproduce the reported issue, but to no avail. Please find attached a sample web application that we used for a local test.
Give it a try and let us know what is different in your case. In case your problem persists, it will be best if you can open a support ticket and send us a simple running project demonstrating the problems. In that way we can reproduce and pinpoint the problems you're facing on our side, understand the logic of your application and provide a solution.

Hi Plamen
Thank you for the sample app. I've tried it on my system and it exhibits the same problem - autocomplete entries don't show in IE, but do in FireFox.
I mentioned in my initial post that I didn't see autocomplete entries in Safari, but I was wrong, it's just that Safari doesn't show a drop down, but does show the autocomplete entries within the textbox after a short delay.
I also mentioned that I'm using IE8 in IE7 emulation mode. I tried turning this off to see if that's where the problem lies, but I get the same result in plain IE8.
Just to check, I modified your code, chaning the 'None' to 'Search' in the source code. The autocomplete works perfectly like this. It's just the 'None' mode that has the problem. It's almost as though it was 'Disabled'.
You've asked for a sample app to demonstrate the problem, but as yours has the same issue, perhaps we can both just work with it. Either way, my own app isn't much more than yours, so it probably doesn't make much difference.

Hello Simon,
Only Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later browsers support a feature referred to AutoComplete. AutoComplete monitors a text box and creates a list of values entered by the user. When the user returns to the text box at a later time, the list is displayed. Instead of retyping a previously entered value, the user can simply select the value from this list.
All the best,

Hi Plamen
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not sure of the point that you're making about Internet Explorer version 5. If you mean to imply that Firefox doesn't support AutoComplete then I'm fairly sure that you're wrong.
Also, I'm using Internet Explorer version Eight, a much later version than 5.
Perhaps we're talking at cross-purposes about exactly what AutoComplete is?
I'm referring the list of matching previously entered entries that drops down below a textbox when a user starts to type in that text box.
IE8 does not show this list for your latest ASP.NET AJAX text box control when the the AutoCompleteType is set to Nothing on my PC.
However, if the AutoCompleteType is set to, for example, 'Search', it works exactly as expected.
Just to be absolutely clear, the AutoCompleteType setting 'Nothing' behaves exactly like 'Disabled' on my PC.

Hi Plamen
Thank you for the links.
A quick read shows that I do understand how AutoCompleteType is supposed to work, its just that I'm not able to communicate to you that your system does not, in IE8.
