multi-field search in mluticolumn - Combo

[Michael]

Hi,

I'd like to use a multicolumn Combo for search reasons.
Here's my current configuration (based on this demo) :

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rb_fvCustomer" runat="server"
                                    DataSourceID="Customers" EnableAutomaticLoadOnDemand="true" ItemsPerRequest="10"
                                    DataTextField="name" DataValueField="kundennummer"
                                    EnableVirtualScrolling="true" ShowMoreResultsBox="true" Width="190px" HighlightTemplatedItems="true">
                                    <HeaderTemplate>
                                        <table style="font-size: 10px">
                                            <tr>
                                                <td style="width: 140px;">Name</td>
                                                <td style="width: 200px;">Kundennummer</td>
                                            </tr>
                                        </table>
                                    </HeaderTemplate>
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <table style="font-size: 10px">
                                            <tr>
                                                <td style="width: 140px;">
                                                    <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "name")%>
                                                </td>
                                                <td style="width: 200px;">
                                                   <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "kundennummer")%>
                                                </td>
                                            </tr>
                                        </table>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                </telerik:RadComboBox>

DataSource Definition:

<asp:LinqDataSource ID="Customers" runat="server" ContextTypeName="DataAdapterRR.CustomerDB_ConnectorDataContext"
        OrderBy="name" TableName="kp_customerdata">
    </asp:LinqDataSource>

Nothing happeing in code behind.
The sarch on the datavalue works and data is shown in the dropdown.
Is there a way I can make the combo to search in all colums but display only the "name" once selected?

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

I can suggest you to use the Filter property of the RadComboBox, in order to be able to search in both columns of the control. Here you could find our online demo, demonstrating the behavior of the RadComboBox, when the Filter property is used.

Hope this information helps. I will be glad to assist you any further.
