Binding a Search box to a list box?

[Calin]

I have a list box, with a lengthy list of items (Interests List Box).  A user selects which Interests are likes, and they populate into a different list box for Likes (Likes List Box)

 

To make searching for specific things easier, I would like to use a search box to help narrow down results. Here is a quick snippet of examples of some of my items:

                    <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="Music-Country" />
                    <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="Music-Rap" />
                    <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="TV-Cartoons" />
                    <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="TV-Drama" />

 

So if I type "Music" in the search box, I would like it to filter down and show results that start with "Music-" so they do not have to scroll all the way through the Interests List Box to get there. Once they find what they are looking for, I want them to be able to click the option they were looking for and add it to the Likes List box. I am having trouble finding a way to link the list box and search box together, is this possible?

Hello Calin,

If you need to filter the items in the ListBox, you can check the following Code Library: https://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/client-side-radlistbox-filter

That would allow the user to decrease the number of items visible, and select the desired items more easily.
