RadAutoSuggestBox Footer

[Richard]

Hi, have you any recommendation on how best to add a footer to the RadAutoSuggestBox?

E.g. "Showing 20 results of 100"

Thanks,

Richard

Can you tell me what do you mean by footer? Is it an element placed under the input box (the RadAutoSuggestBox control)? If this is the case, then note that there is no built-in support for this in the control. Instead, you can place a TextBlock control under the RadAutoSuggestBox and display the required text there.

Sorry comment below , still getting used to this new forum.

Hi Martin, I was hoping I'd be able to get it to show something like the mock-up in the attached image. Where there is a little summary info for when the results of the autosuggest are too long. So that the user can know they need to keep typing to get more refined results. 

In my app, I have embedded the auto-suggest in the title bar of the main window so I can't add a text box under it. Is it possible to inject a textbox under the scroll viewer of the open dropdown box?  If not, could it be added to your feature request list? 

Thanks,

Richard

Hello Richard,

There is no built-in element in the drop down area that will allow you to achieve your requirement. However, you can do so using a custom solution. Basically, you can extract the ControlTemplate of the RadAutoSuggestBox and add a new element in the Popup that shows the drop down content. You can place the new element under the RadListBox control in the template (x:Name="PART_ItemsHost"). Then, you can update its contents based on the current search results.
