Bind AutoCompleteBox to a List<string>

[Herald]

Hello

How would I bind the AutoCompleteBox to a simple List<string> or to a string array. Documentation only shows how to bind to a custom object. 

 

Thanks

Hi Herald,

Thank you for your interest in our RadAutoCompleteBox control.

You can use the following code snippet as an example of how to bind the control to a List of strings.

public class MyViewModel
{
    public List<string> Data { get; set; }
    public MyViewModel()
    {
        Data = new List<string>() { "string", "get", "MyViewModel" };
    }
}

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.DataContext = new MyViewModel();
    }
}

<Grid>
    <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="200"/>        
</Grid>

When you run the project and type "str," the control will autocomplete it by showing the "string" element inside its drop-down content. I hope I was able to help you. Give it a try and let me know how it goes on your side.
