Highlight Text in RadAutocompleteTextBox

[Ke]

Hi There,
Is there a way to force select all text in a RadAutocompleteTextBox? I tried to set IsHighlighted = true but it didn't work.

Thanks,
Ke

Hello Ke,

In order to select all the text you will need to get the TextBox which contains the text and call its SelectAll method. If you are doing this on button click, the handler should look like following:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.Auto.Focus();
    (this.Auto.ChildrenOfType<TextBox>().First() as TextBox).SelectAll();
}

Firstly you will need to focus the AutoCompleteBox to be able to select all the text.

Hope this helps.
