When using the RadAutoCompleteBox, is there a way to clear the text of a previous selection in the text input area?  I have used the clear() method in both the RadAutoCompleteBox object and the AutoCompleteBoxEntryCollection object, which does indeed remove all the entries from the collection.  But there seems to be no way to get to the displayed selection in the text area and clear it also.  Thank you for any insight into this issue.

Hi Bill,

Try the following code to achieve your scenario.

C#:
protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  RadAutoCompleteBox1.Entries.Clear();
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Bill,

Can you paste here the RadAutoCompleteBox markup that you use?

The suggestion works for me.  Thank you. 
However I am confronted with another problem now.  Is there a way to block any typing/input in the text area after a selection is made?
Is there some king of OnKeyPress event for this text box area?

Hi Bill,

You can disable the input element in OnClientEntryAdded event of RadAutoCompleteBox as follows.

JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
 function OnClientEntryAdded(sender, args)
 {
   sender.get_inputElement().disabled = true;
 }
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.
