InputScope

[Marcin]

Has anybody an idea how to provide Inputscope functionality to AutoCompleteBox (to show for example only numeric keybord on mobile device)?

[Marcin]

Hi Marcin,

You can set the InputScope using the following approach (I've set it to your requested scope, but any of the InputScopeNameValues will work):

<input:RadAutoCompleteBox x:Name="MyAutoCompleteBox">
    <input:RadAutoCompleteBox.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="autoCompleteBox:AutoCompleteTextBox">
            <Setter Property="InputScope"  Value="Number" />
        </Style>
    </input:RadAutoCompleteBox.Resources>
</input:RadAutoCompleteBox>

Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you for contacting Support and for choosing Telerik by Progress!

Thanks for answer but what is the autoCompleteBox:AutoCompleteTextBox object, and what is autoCompleteBox namespace? Is it your own implementation of object derived from RadAutoCompleteTextBox? RadAutoCompleteBox doesn`t provide InputScope property directly.

Hello,

the AutoCompleteTextBox is the textbox which the RadAutoCompleteBox control is internally using. 
It is placed in the Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Input.AutoCompleteBox namespace, so if you add the following line the code should work as expected:

xmlns:autoCompleteBox="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Input.AutoCompleteBox"

I hope this helps.

When you use controls such as text boxes in your Windows Phone application, the user enters data by using the on-screen keyboard. Depending on the type of data the user is entering, the input scope of default keyboard may not be the best choice. You can change the input scope of the on-screen keyboard to one of many built-in options. When you change the input scope of the keyboard, you can make it much faster and easier for users to enter data in your application.

Hi, 

I am populating values in autocompletebox from selection made from another form. contactList is the collection of contacts selected in one of the child form.So i am assigning contactList as itemsource and Selecteditems. Its working perfectly.By doing this i am able to delete the items/contacts.

I can't assign item source of child form to autocompletebox.

One problem is , i should not allow user to enter any values in autocompletebox,but user should be able to delete contact.

Below is code.

<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox  Margin="2,0,0,0" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"  SelectionMode="Multiple"   Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding contactList,Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedItems="{Binding contactList,Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">

Hi Sreelaskshmi,

You are posting in the UI for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) forums. From your screenshots, you do not have a UWP application.

Because you're using XAML and the version of Windows I see in your sceenshot, I suspect that you're building a WPF application using UI for WPF on Windows 7. You can find the UI for WPF forums here.

When you post your question there, please add some additional information as the code you've provided is not enough to determine the ItemsSource binding problem.
