This might be the same question as
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/editors/radautocompletebox-char-causing-tags-to-be-created.aspx - not sure about that.
I'm evaluating Telerik for use in my To-Do application. I want to use the RadAutoCompleteBox for a textline which doesn't only contains Tokenized parts.
---
This is what I want to achieve: I want to autocomplete some words, but not every word.
E.g. I have a list with "to-do contexts":
@office
@home
@computer
@errands
@furnitureshop
I also have a list with tags:
#garagecleanup
#interior
#projectx
So I have added my autocomplete items:
Now I want the user to be able to type:
"Buy a new bank @"
And have the dropdown show the AutoCompleteItems starting with @.
Then the user selects "@furnitureshop", so the textbox will receive the tokenized "@furnitureshop". And the user continues:
"Buy a new bank @furnitureshop for my new #"
And have the dropdown show the AutoCompleteItems starting with #.
Then the user selects "#interior" which also gets tokenized.

Is this possible at all with the RadAutoCompleteBox? The RadAutoCompleteBox doesn't show suggestions in the dropdown when it's not directly after an tokenized item. (I set the Delimiter to space).
