I am looking for a feature that is very similar to what we experience when we do a Google search. As we type, it appears that what we have typed is sent to the server in the background via Ajax and used with wild cards in a select query to return filtered results to the client. So the filtering is done on the server and not on the client.
If I understand the ComboBox correctly, its filter is applied against data that already exists on the client. I need the filtered data to come from an Ajax call to the server and not get all the data and then filter it on the client.
If I am correct that this feature is not currently available, it sure would be nice if it was.
If this feature is not available, I would appreciate how best to solve the problem using what capabilities currently exist.

Hi Carl,
I think RadComboBox will meet your requirements. It supports the required load on demand mode. The developer subscribes to the ItemsRequested event and based on the combobox's text filters the data and returns the matching items. You can check this online example for additional info.
