Hi,

How to localize the "Remove token" text of the AutocompleteBox?

Thanks,

Hi martin,

Currently the RadAutoCompleteBox does not support localization of the "remove token" link text.

You can try to change it by handling the OnClientEntryAdded event in this way:

<script type="text/javascript">

function OnClientEntryAdded(sender, eventArgs){
    $telerik.$(eventArgs.get_entry().get_token()).find('a').attr("title", "your text here");
}

</script>

Hi Kalina,

Can we show the value of the item as the tootip of the token?

For example; I am displaying Staff Name as a text in RadAutoComplete and when hoovered at token is there any way of showing the value i.e. StaffCode? 

 

Thank you

Hello Pratiksha,

For convenience and better visibility from the community, I am sharing the reply from the support thread where we discussed the same question.

One easy solution would be using templates so that you can set the value as the title attribute(which is used for showing a tooltip) of an html element, or show the value directly. 

• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/templates/client-templates;
• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/autocompletebox/examples/templates/defaultcs.aspx;

Another solution would be using the OnClientRequested event to iterate the items and set their title attribute that would trigger the tooltip: 

• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/client-side-programming/events/onclientrequested;

Regarding the Tokens, you can use the OnClientEntryAdding or OnClientEntryAdded event to access the token and add the title attribute to it: 

• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/client-side-programming/events/oncliententryadding;
• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/client-side-programming/events/oncliententryadded;
