RadAutoCompleteBox

[Artur]

I am using the RadAutoCompleteBox control in a WPF application and need assistance with configuring it to search for items based on the Name property, but display the values from the Key property.

Hello Artur,

To achieve this requirement, you can set the DisplayMemberPath property to "Key" and the TextSearchPath property to "Name".

The following code snippets show a sample implementation of this suggestion:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ObservableCollection<Item> items = new ObservableCollection<Item>()
        {
            new Item(){ Name = "Name 1", Key = "Key 1" },
            new Item(){ Name = "Name 2", Key = "Key 2" },
            new Item(){ Name = "Name 3", Key = "Key 3" },
            new Item(){ Name = "Name 4", Key = "Key 4" },
            new Item(){ Name = "Name 5", Key = "Key 5" },
        };

        this.autoCompleteBox.ItemsSource = items;
    }
}

public class Item
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Key { get; set; }
}

<Grid>
    <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox x:Name="autoCompleteBox"
                                DisplayMemberPath="Key"
                                TextSearchPath="Name"/>
</Grid>

The produced result is as follows:

I have also attached a sample project for you to test.
