[Solved] Hot to get Combobox to behave as Autocomplete TextBox?

[Kartik Ganesan]

Hi,

We are using telerik combobox with autocomplete on some pages.
We are building some search screens in our application where we are expected to provide google suggest like functionality.
The autocomplete functionality in combobox is pretty close to what we need but has to work of a text box.
How can we achieve this?

We did some research and found the approach described in the link below, but we do not want to add anything outside of telerik.

Thanks

Hello Kartik Ganesan,

Please try using RadComboBox and set its ShowToggleImage property to false.

Do you find the control, configured in this way, useful?

Kind regards,

Simon,

Thanks for a quick response.
We would also need to not fire the command and repopulate on the click on the textbox.
Is there an elegant sample that you can point me to or upload here that can do that.

Thanks

Kartik
