RadComboBox Mark First Match & Spaces

[Alan T]

Was wondering if there was something i hadn't implemented properly perhaps.

I've got a radcombobox populated with countries. I have markfirstmatch set to true, and allowcustomtext set to false, and i want them to chose an item in the list.

This works fine, however, its not as efficient as perhaps i would like it to be. For example, United Arab Emirates, United States , and United Kingdom. I start typing United, but after that it jumps straight to the first one(united arab emirates) in the list with united, and then won't allow me to add a space and continue typing. I'd like to be able to type in the full country if i desire.

Hi Simon,

I have the same problem. Do I install Silverlight?

The issue is resolved in the later releases of the telerik controls.

Hi Santhosh,

When the user types in the input area, RadComboBox automatically completes the string to the first matching item in the list. In your scenario you are not allowing custom text so that if the RadComboBox doesn't have any item with space it will not allow to enter space, this is the expected behavior of the control.

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Santhosh,

Unfortunately I couldn't replicate the issue at my end. Please have a look into the sample code snippet which works fine at my end. Please provide your code if it doesn't help.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" EmptyMessage="selectItem" MarkFirstMatch="true">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item with space" />
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Itemwithoutspace" />
    </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Santhosh,

The issue is caused by the fact that you are using MarkFirstMatch together with Checkboxes but unfortunately this is not a supported scenario by the control as it is described in this help topic.

Hope this will explain the issue.
