Sort within a Listbox

[Mike]

Hello all,

ASP.NET version--->2.0
OS---> XP
exact browser version --->IE 6.0
exact version of the Telerik product --->Not sure(slightly embarrassed...)
preferred programming language (VB.NET or C#) ---->C#


I have a listbox that displays products.
Is there a property that would allow the following:

As a user is focused on the listbox and starts typing the product they are looking for, it would sort to that product, e.g.

a
ab
ac--->#3
ad
b
c--->#6
d

So, if a user types in "ac" it would go to #3 rather than #6.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

One suggestion is to use the RadComboBox in order to display the products, RadComboBox supports client-side filtering - users can perform fast search among all items without going to the server. I hope this will be best fit for your need. Set the property Fiter="StartsWith" of the RadComboBox to achieve this. Please check the online demo.

Filtering

Thanks,

Shinu.

Thanks for the assistance.

Great functionality in that version of that control....

Is this functionality built into the Q4 2006 release?...that is our current version.

On that note:
The reason for the delay of upgrade is that we are concerned about the work involved in upgrading existing reports to work with the new version. Can an upgrade occur by leaving the existing reports to use the older versions of the controls?

thanks again.
Mike

any information on the Q4 2006 release version containing that functionality?

Is my concern regarding an upgrade valid?

Hi Mike,

The Filtering functionality is available only in RadComboBox for ASP.NET Ajax.

You might try using the Autocomplete feature of the "classic" RadComboBox.

As for the Telerik Reporting upgrade, note that there are two kinds of Telerik Reporting versions -- major and minor. Major versions such as 1.x.x.x, 2.x.x.x, etc. can coexist simultaneously on the same machine. Minor versions are also known as Service Packs. There can be only one Service Pack installed per major version, i.e. if you had v 2.0.0.0 and a Service Pack is released (let's say 2.0.1.0) you will need to uninstall version 2.0.0.0 and then install 2.0.1.0.
So if you do not want to upgrade at this time and you are upgrading to a major version, you can continue running your old reports with the previous version and start using the new version for new reports.
However, our suggestion is to use the Upgrade Wizard, see how your reports behave with the new version and if you encounter anything unexpected - let us know. The Upgrade Wizard can be used to "downgrade" as well if needed.

Sincerely yours,
Steve
