Searching and Displaying an IsEditable combobox

[danparker276]

I want to search one value of my item in my itemtemplate, but I display a different one when selected.  I'm not sure this is possible.

It would be like the demo 'Using ItemTemplate in Editable ComboBox', but you could search phone or zip along with the Name.  Then when selected, only the name would show up in the combo box.

The SelectedValuePath doesn't seem to work when I have the telerik:TextSearch.TextPath set.

<telerik:RadComboBox   Name="rcbBillingTkpr"
      DropDownClosed="rcbBillingTkpr_DropDownClosed"
         IsReadOnly ="False"   TextSearchMode="Contains"
        telerik:TextSearch.TextPath="Name" SelectedValuePath="Tkpr"
        ClearSelectionButtonVisibility="Visible" ClearSelectionButtonContent="Clear"
        Width="80"
        IsEditable="True" IsFilteringEnabled="True">
    <telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <local:HighlightingTextBlock   Background="Beige" HighlightBrush="Blue" Margin="0 0 5 0"
    HighlightFontWeight="Bold" HighlightText="{Binding Text, ElementName=rcbBillingTkpr}"
    Text="{Binding Name}"  />
                <local:HighlightingTextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Background="Beige" HighlightBrush="Blue"
    HighlightFontWeight="Bold"  HighlightText="{Binding Text, ElementName=rcbBillingTkpr}"
    Text="{Binding Tkpr}"  />
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Hi Dan,

 
I would suggest using custom ItemTemplate and the attached property TextSearch.TextPath that helps you to specify which value you want to use for AutoComplete and AutoSelect. Please, refer to our online documentation where you can find additional information about your scenario - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radcombobox-features-autocomplete.html#Using_Custom_ItemTemplate & http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radcombobox-features-selection.html

I hope this helps.

Greetings,
