AutoCompleteView

[Klejda]

Hello , 

I want to add  every row that i select from the AutoCompleteView into a grid that will be located in the same page as the AutoCompleteView .

My question is how can i get the selected element and add it to the grid ?

Hi Klejda,

I have created a sample that shows how to achieve the described scenario. The solution works in both scenarios: DisplayMode="Plain" or the DisplayMode="Tokens".

Please take a look at the attached project and let me know if you have any additional questions on this.

The problem is that we are using Xamarin Forms and i need to have my events in the ViewModel and nothing in the back code . 

So I want to get the SelectedItem in my ViewModel where i can create and fire my event . I saw your example but it is not what i am looking for .

Hello Klejda,

Currently, the RadAutoCompleteView does not provide a command equivalent to the SuggestionItemSelected event. In this case you will need to use a Xamarin.Forms EventToCommandBehavior. 

You'll get the event args as a command parameter and add the selected item to the RadDataGrid ItemsSource.

 

For example:

<telerikInput:RadAutoCompleteView.Behaviors>
    <local:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="SuggestionItemSelected"
                        Command="{Binding SuggestionSelectedCommand}"/>
</telerikInput:RadAutoCompleteView.Behaviors>

public Command SuggestionSelectedCommand { get; set; }



private void OnSuggestedSelected(object obj)

{

    if (obj is SuggestionItemSelectedEventArgs e)

    {

        var item = e.DataItem;

        this.SelectedItems.Add((Person)item);

    }

}

Please take a look at the attached project how this could be achieved and let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Hi Klejda,

I have modified the attached project regarding how to Add and Remove items to the RadDataGrid using the Tokens Collection of the AutoCompleteView control. Please take a look at the MyConverter.cs and MainPage.xaml files how this could be achieved. 

I hope this could help.
