Hi Abhi,

Please have a look into the following C# code.

C#:

private void radAutoCompleteBox1_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string selectedItemText = radAutoCompleteBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks for reply

My exact problem is:
For Example : If we have 3 colors in ColorList
1.Red
2.Green and
3.blue  (ItemSource to AutocompleteBox is ColorList)

after selecting the Item from the List  (for example => I'll select Green)

Now, If I select part of the Text "ree" from "Green"

How to get this "ree" in Lost_Focus Event of AutoCompleteBox (selectedTex in the selectedItem)

pls give any solution for this............

Hi,

In order to get the selected text in the textbox portion of the control you will have to get the TextBox element and use directly its SelectedText property.

var autoComplete = (RadAutoCompleteBox)sender;
var textBox = autoComplete.ChildrenOfType<TextBox>().First();
string selectedText = textBox.SelectedText;
