I have several type ahead radcomboboxes in my app, here is an example of one of them:

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radClientCombo" GotFocus="RadClientBox_GotFocus"
SelectAllTextEvent="None" Height="24" CanAutocompleteSelectItems="False" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Background="Transparent" CanKeyboardNavigationSelectItems="True" IsEditable="True" KeyUp="RadClientBox_KeyUp"
Grid.Row
="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Width="203" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,14,0,0"
IsFilteringEnabled="False" IsTextSearchEnabled="False" SelectionChanged="radClientCombo_SelectionChanged"
 LostFocus="radClientCombo_LostFocus" />


On the "KeyUp" event, I call a function in my web service which returns a filtered list of items based on what the user has typed in.  The completed event is handled below:

 

    radClientCombo.ItemsSource = e.Result;
radClientCombo.IsDropDownOpen = true;

My problem is, since updating my DLL's to the latest build, when the new itemssource is set, it wipes out the text.  So for example I will type in "Ba" and it will find a list of items that start with that, but then the text of the box is set to nothing, how many characters I get in just depends on how fast I type.  As soon as it gets to the "completed" event hander and bins the itemssource then it wipes out the text in the box.  This is pretty annoying because say I wanted to type in the word "Bank", I'll never get that far.  Unfortunatly these dropdowns are pretty crucial in my app and they are now almost unuseable. 

I am going to keep working on this but wanted to get the question out there since it is so crucial, any advice is appreciated.  I realize I may need to rethink how I am populating these menus (this logic/process is an adaption of a .net/ajax type ahead), I am open to all options/suggestions.

Just to make sure, I went ahead and rolled back to the 2001_2_0714 build, I confirmed that my menus work fine in that build.

I also tried the latest dev build but in that I still have the problem.

Worst case scenario I can roll back to 0714 but I will have to update some other things.

Hello Kjell,

Could you please refer to the following forum thread - http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/combobox/multiple-keystrokes-per-character.aspx.
I suppose that the two issues could be relative. Could you please double check if you have the same problem.

I hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information.
 

Best wishes,

FYI this seems to be resolved in the Q3 build.
