    Hello,

    In the autocompletBox , we search in the "DataTextField" which represent the column,

    is it possible to take the query and modify this, to search on the other column ?


    I want to search in City table, i must to search Zip code or City Name in the same AutocompleteBox.

    Please
    Have you a solution ?

    thanks
    Olivier,

    Hello olivier,

    In general modifying the search query of the RadAutoCompleteBox is not a supported scenario.

    How do you populate the RadAutoCompleteBox with data?
    Could you please paste here some code to illustrate your implementation?

    Hello

    I populate with Strataframe Business Object similar to  RadODataDataSource

    If i have name and last name ?

    john smith
    eddy white

    i want to search "john" or "eddy" or "smith" or "white"

    I make in my query  : select name+' '+lastname from MyTable , but my filter StartWidth and i don't search on "smith" or "White".

    in french :
    Cp   = Zip Code
    ville =  City Name

    I want to search on this Column

     <SFWeb:WebBusinessBindingSource runat="server" ID="WbAffaires" BusinessObjectName="oAffairesBo"></SFWeb:WebBusinessBindingSource>
                                <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox runat="server" ID="RadAutoCompleteBox1" Width="340" DataSourceID="WbAffaires" Filter="StartsWith" CssClass="RadAutoCompleteBox_Default"
                                DropDownWidth="300px" DataTextField="ville" DataValueField="cp" InputType="Token" Delimiter="," EmptyMessage="Ville, CP ou département." AllowCustomEntry="False">
                                </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>


    thanks

    Hi olivier,

    I am afraid that databining the RadAutoCompleteBox via Stataframe Business Object is not a supported scenario.

    it's not a problem cause it's work,

    Have you a sample with other datasource to search a value in two or third column ?

    And do you confirm me , with the datasource of your choice, that we can search in other column  of the datasource ?

    thanks

    Hi Olivier,

    You can search the value in two columns in a table using SqlDataSource as follows.

    ASPX:
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat ="server" ConnectionString ="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT City AS data FROM Customers UNION SELECT ZipCode AS data FROM Customers">
    </asp:SqlDataSource>
    <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox runat="server" ID="RadAutoCompleteBox1"  DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="data" AutoPostBack="true" Filter="StartsWith">
    </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox >

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Princy.

    Hello Princy

    Great idea, why i don't think about this way.
    it's simple and i can implement with Strataframe Business Object so.

    Thanks You very much.

    Princy,

    Excuse me , but your solution it's a good way,

    In the Autocomplete , i want to display the concatenation between the city and zip code.

    Example :
    ___________________________________________________
    | Display  in the Autocomplete     |      search in the union query   |
    | Los Angeles (90001)                 |      Los Angeles or 90001        |
    | Paris (75001)                             |      Paris or 75001                  |
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you have Idea.

    Hi Olivier,

    Try Modifying your code as follows to achieve your scenario.

    ASPX:
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat ="server" ConnectionString ="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT City+' ('+PostalCode+')' AS data FROM Customers">
    </asp:SqlDataSource>
    <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox runat="server" ID="RadAutoCompleteBox1"  DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3" DataTextField="data" AutoPostBack="true" Filter="Contains">
    </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox >

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Princy.

    Thanks Princy

    it's definitively so bad, cause i must to have Filter "StartsWith" not "Contains"

    May be telerik will add functionnality in the future.

    Thanks for all,
