I have an autocompletebox set up with the following settings

                            <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ID="RadAutoCompleteBox1" RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server"
                                MaxResultCount="100" MinFilterLength="2"
                                AllowCustomEntry="true"
                                InputType="Text" Width="100" DropDownWidth="100px"
                                DataTextField="My_Text" DataValueField="My_Value" >
                                <TextSettings SelectionMode="Single" />
                            </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>

 

When entering text, if any items match partially on the entry, the top entry from those will be selected.  For instance, if I have an option for '1234' and the user has typed '123', the entry for '1234' will be selected and the user is unable to add a custom entry for '123'.

Is there any way to get around this behavior?  The users really need to be able to add custom entries.

Hello Danielle,

This behavior is intended and enabled by default. You can easily disable it by setting HighlightFirstMatch property to false: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/functionality/items-selection.
