[Solved] RadDomainDataSource and RadAutoCompleteBox

[Masoud]

Hello,

do you have any examples of using the RadDomainDataSource to supply the RadAutocompkleteBox with Data?
Also, is it possible to have the RadAutocomplteBox use a collection of objects where one member is displayed and another is used as value member?

Best regards!

Hi,

Unfortunately we do not have an example that demonstrates how to use the RadAutoCompleteBox with RadDomainDataSource that we can share with you.

In order to set one property of an object to be use for the searching feature of the control and another to be displayed in the control all you need to do is set the DisplayMemberPath and TextSearchPath properties of the control. The next code snippet shows how to set those properties:

public class Country
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Capital { get; set; }
}

and in the xaml:

<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ItemsSource="{Binding Countries}"
                    WatermarkContent="Enter Country Name"
                    AutoCompleteMode="Suggest"
                    DisplayMemberPath="Capital"
                    TextSearchPath="Name"/>

Hope this is helpful.
