[Solved] HighlightFirstMatch(false) and initial value

[Mattias]

Hi,
I have 2 questions, first my code:

Html.Telerik()
        .ComboBox()
        .Name("Search")
        .Encode(true)
        .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax().Select("SearchInlineResult", "Article").Cache(false).Delay(500))
        .AutoFill(false)
        .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "fake-autocomplete", style = "color: #888888; width: 250px" })
        .HighlightFirstMatch(false)
        .Filterable(filter => filter.Enabled(false))
        .Value(Request.QueryString["q"])
        .Render();

1. When typing a search phrase, this code still highlights the first item. Why isn't HighlightFirstMatch(false) working here?
2. After making a search, the search form redirects to search result page and there I want the search phrase to be added back to the control but I can't use .Value(Request.QueryString["q"]) for this. So how do I set initial value?

Regards,
Mattias

Hello Mattias,

 
Straight onto your questions:
#1: When the filtering of the combobox is turned off it starts to behave like SELECT element. In this case the combobox will not filter the items, but will select an item depending on the user input. 

#2:
You can try InputHtmlAttributes:

InputHtmlAttributes(new { value = Request.QueryString["q"] })
