Type ahead in RadComboBox

[david]

I've been successfully using the RadComboBox autocomplete filter (very nice feature).  But...I've broken it or so it appears.   The symptom is it only matches the first character typed so that entering 'Sm' will jump to 'Sa' (or the first 'S' string match) and no further ?.  

<

asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:edwaydbConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [lname], lname+','+fname 'lfname', [StudentID] FROM [Registrations] ORDER BY [lname], [fname]"></asp:SqlDataSource>

<CommandItemTemplate>

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" Height="140px" Width="250px"

DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="lfname" DataValueField="StudentID"

ToolTip="Select a student" Skin="Vista" AllowCustomText="true" MarkFirstMatch="True"

Font-Size="Small" ShowToggleImage="true">

<CollapseAnimation Type="InSine"></CollapseAnimation>

<ExpandAnimation Type="InOutSine"></ExpandAnimation>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

<asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" CommandName="Search" />

<asp:Button ID="btnClear" runat="server" Text="Clear" CommandName="Clear" />

</CommandItemTemplate>

Found it problem, its Chrome browser is not behaving correctly.

Is there a fix for this? I'm experiencing the same problem

lets say i have an item called Category. When i type C it works perfectly, but if I continue to type then the text isn't updated. so lets say i type 'ate' after the C. the text in the combobox will then read Cateategory and will not match category.

Hi pev,

I was unable to reproduce the issue with Chrome in our live demo here (which is using the latest official version of Telerik.Web.UI - 2009.1.412

Could specify with which version you are experiencing the issue?

I can reproduce the problem consistently in the latest CHROME broswer using your demos, specifically http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/functionality/autocompleteclientside/defaultcs.aspx.

Typing the first character in CHROME automatically selects the first match, so typing further characters does not allow the control to behave like an autocomplete control.

Can Telerik please verify the issue?
