RadMultiColumnComboBox How to Clear Text

[Tyler]

I have a RadMultiColumnComboBox with AutoCompleteMode="Search". If I type "asdf" into the combo box, close the dropdown without actually selecting an item, and then refresh the page I want to clear "asdf", but I cannot figure out how to clear this text. I have tried setting the selected Item to null, setting AutoCompleteProvider.SearchText to an empty string, and setting the selected index to -1. 

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Tyler,

To clear the search text, you can use the AutoCompleteProvider property of the control. This will allow you to set the SearchTexta and MatchText which is going to affect the UI.

this.multiColumnComboBox.AutoCompleteProvider.SearchText = string.Empty;
this.multiColumnComboBox.AutoCompleteProvider.MatchText = string.Empty;

Note that the AutoCompleteProvider is null until the ItemsSource or the Columns are assigned.

I hope that helps.
