OpenDropdown on Edit

[JungTae]

Hello Telerik team, I need a way to open my autocomplete enabled telerik combobox. I tried to use TextInput event handler and TextInputUpdate event handler, but I keep getting this error

Error 16 The type or namespace name 'TextCompositionEventArgs' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows.Input' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Development\RISK\Main\Source\ProductReferenceWebsite\ProductReferenceWebsite\Views\ModelConfig.xaml.cs 767 99 ProductReferenceWebsite


basically saying that this

System.Windows.Input.TextCompositionEventArgs  does not exist. My company is using Silverlight 3 on VSTS 2008

Hello,

Could you please give us more information about this problem? I am afraid I didn't understand what is your particular scenario. Also, could you let us know what version of RadControls do you use? Please, double check you referenced the correct assemblies:

• Telerik.Windows.Controls
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input 

I will be glad to assist you further.

All the best,
George

I am not exactly sure what the problem is since i am already using the DLLs that you have mentioned. I'm not quite sure which version of RadControls that we use, I only know that it's for silverlight 3, though I believe it's the latest build of SIlverlight 3 RadControls. The error that I have mentioned above

private void ModelParametersList_TextInputStart(object sender, System.Windows.Input.TextCompositionEventArgs e)
       {
       }

pops up when the intellisense generates the event handler for me with no code in the function  That Is all the code that I have.
 
All i'm ultimately trying to do is to keep the dropdown menu open when the user is typing into the RadComboBox

Hello,

I would suggest you to use OpenOnDropDownOnFocus property of the RadComboBox. For more information, please refer to your online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radcombobox-howto-open-dropdown-get-focus.html 

Kind regards,
