Hi.
So I got the control working neatly and user-friendly up to the point where I want to change z selection. In order to show other suggestions after focusing on the AutoCompleteBox I need to clear or change the SelectedText. This is somewhat cumbersome.
After I get focus to my AutoCompleteBox with a already selected item, I'd like to display the whole unfiltered SuggestionSource which will get filtered only when the SelectedText is changed.
How can I achieve this?
King Regards,

Hi Simon,
Showing only results, which are relevant to the criteria entered in RadAutoCompleteBox is natural for the control. To workaround this, you can set the EmptyFilterBehavior to EmptyFilterBehavior.ShowAll. Then you can subscribe to GotFocus event and clear the Text property. This way, when focused, the control text will be cleared and all suggestions will be shown in the dropdown.

I do understand this is how the control behaves, but it's just not user-friendly. Even more, deleting the Text property content on GotFocus is even more unintuitive.
So is it possible to make the control behave as if the text was empty, but not clearing the text property, so to show all the possible suggestions?

Hi Szymon,
I am afraid it is not possible to make the control behave this way.
