Hi,

I would like to suggest a new RadControl to add to your lib : an item picker with search capabilities...
I have done one as a usercontrol using the ajaxcontroltoolkit, but I think this can be converted to a RadControl...

I explain using a example : a city picker (country, zip code and name)

The control in a readonly mode (like in FormView with CurrentMode=Select) :
If one item is selected, item data is shown (Ex : FR 69000 LYON)
If no item is selected, a custom text is shown (Ex : No city selected)

In read/write mode, the behavior is the same as readonly mode, but there are 2 buttons : Delete and Search.
Delete remove current item selection, and Search opens a modal popup (modalpopupextender) to help users search the item.
The search form contains searchable fields that user can fill (country as dropdown, zip code and name as text), a search button, a cancel button, and a result grid.
The grid contains a "Select" command button, that let the user select the desired item.

All is ajaxified to avoid page postbacks.

I think it is possible to create a rad control to avoid me copy/past the design behavior for each item I need to pick up like this (city, users...)

Thanks.

Hello Damien,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us - I will forward your suggestion to our development department for further consideration. Based on the feedback from other community members and the research we will do concerning the possible implementation of such type of control, we will make a decision whether it will be included in a future version of the suite.
