RadComboBox clear search selection

[David]

How can I clear the search box on a RadComboBox.  The only way I can clear the search text is when I use the keyboard to do so.

 

 

 

This is how I am defining the combo box.

<controls:RadComboBox
    DisplayMemberPath="FullName"
    DropDownButtonStyle="{StaticResource ContactDropDownStyle}"
    HorizontalOptions="Fill"
    IsClearButtonVisible="False"
    IsDropDownClosedOnSelection="False"
    IsEditable="True"
    IsFilteringEnabled="True"
    ItemsSource="{Binding Contacts, Mode=TwoWay}"
    Loaded="OnComboBoxLoaded"
    Margin="15"
    OpenOnFocus="True"
    Placeholder="Select Contacts"
    PlaceholderColor="{StaticResource White}"
    SearchTextPath="FullName"
    SelectionChanged="OnContactSelectedChanged"
    SelectionMode="Multiple"
    TextColor="{StaticResource White}"
    Unfocused="ContactComboBox_OnUnfocused"

Hi David,

The ComboBox control has a clear button which you can use to clear the text. In a multiple selection the selected items are also cleared. 

I see you have set the property to false:

IsClearButtonVisible="False"

In order to clear only the text typed in the input area you can add additional button that will clear the controls' Text. 

    <VerticalStackLayout>
        <Button Text="clear text" Clicked="Button_Clicked" />
        <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="comboBox"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" 
                             DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                             Placeholder="Select City"
                             IsClearButtonVisible="True"
                             SelectionMode="Multiple"
                             IsEditable="True"/>
    </VerticalStackLayout>

    private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.comboBox.Text = string.Empty;
    }
