Using Character '%' for AutoComplete in RadComboBox

[olivier]

Hi,

In RadCombobox, can we use the character '%' followed of the searched word to make a search style Windows Explorer, with the '%' equals to  '*' ?

Thanks

Hi Olivier,

Thank you for contacting us.

Unfortunately, this is not a supported feature of the RadComboBox. If we receive enough clients' requests we will consider adding such feature in our development plans.

If you have any other questions please let us know.

Hello Olivier,

We haven't yet included this feature in our plans. Once we have you will be able to view it in PITS or in our roadmap for the upcoming release.

Dear Konstantina,

 

I am sorry but my question was not asked in a correct way. The question was to know if you have an idea how I can implement such a specific way of working? For instance, let’s imagine a dropdown list which contains the following values:

 

Value 1-Test 1

Value 2-Test 1

Value 3-Test 2

Value 4-Test 3

 

I want the user enter %Test1 and the dropdown list to display two values ‘Value 1-Test 1’ and ‘Value 2-Test 1’. In other words, I would like to give the user the possibility to use a king of ‘LIKE’ operator in a dropdown list.

 

Sorry again for my previous question.

 

I thank you in advance for your answer.

 

Kind regards,

 

Oliver

Hi Olivier,

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Unfortunately, there is no way that you can implement this yourself.
Sorry for the caused inconvenience.

Please feel free to contact us again if you have any other questions about our controls.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Last question for this topic:
Does it mean that we cannot get back the text typed by the user to make personalized operations (here take a search)?
Even by incorporating the component telerik in our own component / API, it's not possible?

Best Regards,
Oliver

Hello Olivier,

You can use the TextInput and the TextInputStart events of the ComboBox to get back the text that the user has typed.

All the best,
