Filter not work with custom data template

[Aeroth]

Hi Telerik Support,

I wrote a simple ComboBox with my custom data template but the filter functionality does not work properly. E.g., I added 5000 items to my ComboBox (from 1 to 5000) I can find the value of 3333 by scrolling down the ComboBox, but if I filter with 3333 some values are gone.
Did anything go wrong? Thanks!
Below is my code:

public class MyComboBox : RadComboBox
    {
        private MyComboBoxItemCollection _itemList;

        public MyComboBox()
        {
            this._itemList = new MyComboBoxItemCollection();
            base.IsEditable = true;
            base.IsFilteringEnabled = true;
            base.StaysOpenOnEdit = true;
            base.TextSearchMode = Telerik.Windows.Controls.TextSearchMode.StartsWith;
            base.IsReadOnly = true;
            DataTemplate selData = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(
              @"<DataTemplate
                        xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"">
                        <TextBlock Text=""{Binding Value}""/>
                </DataTemplate>"
              );

            DataTemplate itemTmp = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(
                @"<DataTemplate
                        xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"">
                    <StackPanel Orientation=""Horizontal"">
                        <TextBlock Text=""{Binding Value}""/>
                        <TextBlock Text="" ""/>
                        <TextBlock Text=""{Binding Description}"" Foreground=""Blue"" />
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>");


            ItemsPanelTemplate itemsPanelTmp = (ItemsPanelTemplate)XamlReader.Load(
                @"<ItemsPanelTemplate
                        xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"">
                    <VirtualizingStackPanel />
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>");


            base.SelectionBoxTemplate = selData;
            base.ItemTemplate = itemTmp;

            base.ItemsPanel = itemsPanelTmp;

            base.SelectedValuePath = "Value";
            Telerik.Windows.Controls.TextSearch.SetTextPath(this, "Value");
        }

        public void Add(string showText, object description, object value)
        {
            MyComboBoxItem item = new MyComboBoxItem()
            {
                DataContext = value,
                Value = showText,
                Description = description == null ? string.Empty : description.ToString(),
            };

            _itemList.Add(item);

            base.ItemsSource = _itemList;
        }

        public void Add(object value, object description)
        {
            this.Add(value.ToString(), description, value);
        }


        public void Add(object value)
        {
            this.Add(value, "");
        }
    }

    public class MyComboBoxItem
    {
        public string Value { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }

        public object DataContext { get; set; }

    }

    public class MyComboBoxItemCollection : ObservableCollection<MyComboBoxItem>
    {
        public MyComboBoxItemCollection()
            : base()
        {
        }
    }

Hi Aeroth,

I noticed in your code that you're using VirtualizingStackPanel - note that virtualization and filtering features in RadComboBox cannot be used together. The reason for this is that RadComboBox is an ItemsControl. I would suggest to check our RadAutoCompleteBox control which supports such scenarios.

All the best,
