Search on list? Autoselect?

[Alexandre]

Hi, there is something I don't understand about the multicolumncombobox... When i'm writing on the text field if there is something corresponding in the list that automaticly select it and fire the selectedindexchanged event. Do there is a way to prevent it?

Need some help please ... I really need a solution to stop this...

Hello,

I take it that you have the DropDownStyle set to DropDown. Is that correct? Do you need to have it like that? If not, then simply setting the DropDownStyle to DropDownList will solve your issue. The code below is just a MultiColumnComboBox and a RadLabel on a form.

Imports Telerik.WinControls.UI
Imports System.ComponentModel

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Me.RadMultiColumnComboBox1.Text = ""
        Me.RadMultiColumnComboBox1.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList

        Dim people As New BindingList(Of Person)()
        people.Add(New Person("Richard", 1))
        people.Add(New Person("Fred", 2))
        people.Add(New Person("Bert", 3))
        people.Add(New Person("Barry", 4))

        Me.RadMultiColumnComboBox1.DataSource = people
    End Sub


    Private Sub RadMultiColumnComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
        Me.RadLabelSelection.Text = "Selection Made: " & Me.RadMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedIndex.ToString()
    End Sub

End Class

Public Class Person

    Public Sub New(ByVal name As String, ByVal id As Integer)
        Me.Name = name
        Me.Id = id
    End Sub

    Public Property Name As String

    Public Property Id As Integer
End Class

Let me know if that's what you mean, or if tyou need more information.
Thanks
Richard
