[Solved] RADComboBox-First match premature in matching to space following first character typed

[Gail Brown]

When page loads cursor is at the combobox.  List contains entries like "A & E..." in addition to other entries like "Apart...".  If you begin typing, the match comes up on the "A & E" entry even when you type "AP..." very fast.  The text following the "&" is all highlighted.

You must then backspace and start typing over again to get the entry you are looking for.

Is there anything to be done to deal with the spaces?  It seems like it does an automatic match even though the characters you typed had no space in them.

Hello Gail Brown,

I tried to reproduce the problem, but to no avail.
When I typed AP it automatically selected the Apart...

Can you isolate the problem in a small and running project and send it to us in a new support thread?

Thanks

I created a single page project with a read-only textbox (my page has this preceding the combo box) and this combo box on the page.  Instead of binding to a database, I entered a few of the entries manually in the combo box to make up a test set.

The combo box behaved correctly.

On the page where the problem occurs is a Script Manager and several MS Update panels (just around controls that need to update from the combo box in question). 

I suspect this mix of MS and RAD controls may be causing this problem.  I will try to replace the MS controls with the RAD Controls and see if I can solve the problem.

Thank you.
