automcomplete search both text and value?

[Henry]

I had a radcombobox that set up to filter="Contains", it works fine. but it only search the "text" of those RadComboBoxItem in combobox, is there an easy way to enable it so that it tried to search both "text" and "value" of the RadComboBoxItem in comboxbo? or possible include those in the attributes in RadComboBoxItem?

Thanks.

Hello Henry,

Unless you implement some custom functionality the RadComboBox will search among its items based on their Text property. On other hand of you implement a multi-column combobox where the Value is displayed as a separate column then the Filtering will search for a match in all of the available columns.

Dimitar, thanks for the reply.

Yes actually my combobox was multiple columns, but the filter is only on the text, not those other columns. could you provide any demo or examples?
