Search As You Type doesn't work on GridViewComboBoxColumn

[Mattia]

Hi,

I tried to use "search as you type" on my GridViewComboBoxColumn. But it doesn't work.

When I type something on the search bar doesn't found anything on grid.

<UserControl.Resources>
        <CollectionViewSource x:Key="DirectionsCollectionViewSource" x:Name="DirectionsCollectionViewSource" />
    </UserControl.Resources>

 

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn UniqueName="Direction" Header="Direction"
                                          DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Direction, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                                          SelectedValueMemberPath="Value"
                                          ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource DirectionsCollectionViewSource}}"
                                          DisplayMemberPath="Label">
              </telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>

 

Collection View Source is populated with the following values:

List<SSCStringValueObject> directions = new List<SSCStringValueObject>();
           directions.Add(new SSCStringValueObject("O", "Out");
           directions.Add(new SSCStringValueObject("I", "In");

           return directions;

 

Telerik version used: 2017.2.614.45

 

What am I missing? Can you provide me an example, please?

 

Thank you

Hello Stefania,

With the current implementation of the GridViewComboBoxColumn, searching is only available if the IsLightweightMode property of the column is set to True and the DataMemberBinding is the same type as the DisplayMemberPath.

I've attached a small sample project based on your description to demonstrate how to enable search as you type in this case. Please have a look at it and let me know whether you find such an approach applicable.
