[Solved] RadComboBox - autocomplete works incorrectly when some of items contain AutoCompleteSeparator character

[Yaroslav Kulik]

Hello,

I'm using RadComboBox in the same way like AutoComplete example on Telerik demos. For my purposes I need to set AutoCompleteSeparator=" " (space character). The problem is I have this character in the drop-down list of items. If I, for instance, choose "hello world" item and after that choose another (using the arrow keys on keyboard), then the first part of item ("hello) remains on input area. Is it by any chance possible to remove the entire item from input area when navigating through drop-down list of items?

And the second question. Is it possible not to choose selected item automatically? I mean when I'm walking through the list of drop-down items I don't want them appear on input area until I press "Enter" for example.

Telerik.Web.UI.dll 2008.1.0415

Thank you,
Yaroslav

Hello Yaroslav Kulik,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Please download and try our latest internal build and test it.

As for the second question - you can achieve your task if you set the client side set_changeText property of RadComboBox to false:

<script>
function pageLoad()
{
   $find("RadcomboBox1").set_changeText(false);
}
</script>

Hello Rosi,

Unfortunately, the latest build works in the same way as previous one. So, I continue experiencing problems with AutoCompleteSeparator character. Just in case, I use the library for ASP.NET 3.5.

Thank you for your solution for the second question. It works exactly as needed. In this case I don't need my first problem to be fixed :)

Thank you,
Yaroslav
