    Hi,  By typing in starting letters, radcombo can auto complete selection for first match.  Is there any way to do auto complete for non starting letters ? For example:    If the dropdown list options are  "red apple"  "green apple" "red grape" "green grape".   user type in "red" and press Tab,  the "red apple"  will be auto selected.   Is there any way to auto select "red apple" by typing in "apple" ?

    Thanks

    Hello Susan,

    How about setting the property filter="Contains" to the RadComboBox.
    C#:
    <telerik:RadComboBox Label="hai" ID="RadComboBox1" AutoPostBack="false"  AllowCustomText="true" Filter="Contains"
                EnableLoadOnDemand="true"  runat="server">
                <Items>
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="red apple"/>
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="green apple"  />
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="red grape"  />
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="green grape" />
                </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>

    Thanks,
    Shinu.

    Hi Shinu, Thanks for reply.  Tried with filter="Contains", does not work. Indeed, with or without the filter, radcombo can always narrow down the option list, but when press tab key, it cannot auto select the first option if filter="Contains".
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Hello Susan,

    As you have already noticed the autocomplete functionality is working, when you type the starting letters of particular text.

    What you want to achieve is not supported by the autocomplete functionality.

    Best wishes,
