Really need a quick answer, does AutoCompleteBox can be customized so it can uses gridview as it's drop down part.
If yes, any reference or suggestion how to achieve it?

Hi,
The RadAutoCompleteBox uses a RadListBox for it drop down portion. You can customize the template of the drop down items using the DropDownItemTemplate, however you cannot use a RadGridView as its drop down part.
Hi Ivo, thanks for your reply.
However, can you be more specific why we can't use RadGridView as it's template?

Hello,
The RadAutoCompleteBox relies that its DropDown portion will be a RadListBox. The control was designed to use RadListBox, because it is intuitive ItemsControl providing selection with both mouse and touch and it can be easily customized. I believe that by editing the RadListBox's Template and ItemTemplate you can achieve almost every possible layout.
