Hi,

I have a RadAutoCompleteBox that I add dynamically at run time for editing values.
I can set all settings that I need and add it to the page without problems.

I just can't find out how to set it's text value because the 'text' property is read only.
I want to search the items only when the user modifies the current value.

This is my code so far:

_autoCompleteBox = new RadAutoCompleteBox();

_autoCompleteBox.ID = String.Format("Extra_RdtCmpltBx_{0}_{1}", Data.Name, ID);

_autoCompleteBox.Filter = RadAutoCompleteFilter.StartsWith;

_autoCompleteBox.DropDownPosition = RadAutoCompleteDropDownPosition.Automatic;

_autoCompleteBox.AllowCustomEntry = true;

_autoCompleteBox.InputType = RadAutoCompleteInputType.Text;

_autoCompleteBox.WebServiceSettings.Method = "GetResults";

_autoCompleteBox.WebServiceSettings.Path = "Popup_EditData.aspx";

Hello Michael,

In order to achieve the desired functionality, you need to add a new entry to the EntriesCollection of the programmatically created RadAutoCompleteBox. Please consider the following implementation :

_autoCompleteBox = new RadAutoCompleteBox();

_autoCompleteBox.ID = String.Format("Extra_RdtCmpltBx_{0}_{1}", Data.Name, ID);

_autoCompleteBox.Filter = RadAutoCompleteFilter.StartsWith;

_autoCompleteBox.DropDownPosition = RadAutoCompleteDropDownPosition.Automatic;

_autoCompleteBox.AllowCustomEntry = true;

_autoCompleteBox.InputType = RadAutoCompleteInputType.Text;

_autoComplete.Entries.Add(new AutoCompleteBoxEntry("Custom Entry"));

_autoCompleteBox.WebServiceSettings.Method = "GetResults";

_autoCompleteBox.WebServiceSettings.Path = "Popup_EditData.aspx";
