Search Column & Contains search in ComboBox with Multiple Item

[Jimmy Vithalani]

Hello,

How can I tell RadComboBox, which column to search in, when I type something in the textbox?

Also How can I do contains search rather then starts with search?

Thanks.
Jimmy.

Hello Jimmy,

On how to work with the "filter" property of the RadComboBox, please refer to the following demo.
Regarding your first query, the RadCombobox is searching among the text of the items, so it will search in the column whit the values bound to the text property.

Kind regards,

Hello Dimitar,

Thanks for the reply.

The Filter property solves a problem for me.

But the other one, where I need to define which column to search in, is still not solved.

Because, I want to search on some other column which is displayed in the drop grid, but it is not in my Text.

Do you see any way of doing this?

Thanks Again.
Jimmy.

Hello Jimmy,

Since Q1 2011 release the filter property is searching among all columns of the RadComboBox.

In case you are using older version of the controls, your combobox will be searching only in the column with the Text property.

All the best,
