RadGridView with AutoCompleteBox in CellEditTemplate

[Ravi]

Hi I have a hierarchical grid and I have ShowInsertRow=True, when the user clicks on the new row, a new row appears and the first column is a autocompletebox in edit mode of the row, I have added the autocomplete datasource in the autocompletebox loaded event. now when the user enters say "a" the cellValidating event is fired and shows there is an error (which is fine), but at the same time it should also give an option for the user to select from the options which autocomplete box gives, as soon as the cell validating event appears the text "a" in the textbox gets selected and the cell turns to error and no autocompletion appears, unless until if i delete the text "a" and then again add a then i am getting the automcompletion values..

Please advice.

Hi David,

I have tried to reproduce the behavior you described, but still without any success. May you take a look at the sample attached to verify whether there are any misunderstandings ?

Thanks for the update and the sample application.

I am not using a RadComboBox, I am using a AutoCompleteBox, So I request you suggest how do i proceed further with AutoCompleteBox.

Thanks

Hi,

 I am also using AutoCompleteBox as one of the CellEditTemplate in my RadGridView. It seems to be working fine, but after selecting an item from AutoCompleteBox, it is not allowing me to click on other controls (its not even showing the mouse over effect if I place mouse over a button.. like tab button). Please suggest something about this.

Thanks,
Swamy

Hello Narayana,

Generally, failed validation does not depend on the type of element in the CellEditTemplate. In this sense there should be no difference whether you are using AutoCompleBox or RadComboBox. Are you capable of reproducing your behavior on the sample attached previously ?
