How to select the first item in the matched dropdown list when Entery key is pressed?

[Yujin Wu]

Hi team,

Supposed that my DataSource is:
a1
a2
a3
b1
b2
b3
c1
c2
c3

, and I input "b" in the search text, then press Enter key directly, What I expected is : "b1" should be selected into the textbox
and dropdown is closed. However, current result is the input value("b") is removed and no item in dropdown is selected into textbox.

Appreciated for your helps.

Hi Yujin,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

 

We have Autofill property in Autocomplete textbox which accomplish your requirement. Please refer the below code snippet

@Html.Syncfusion().AutocompleteTextBox("Autocomplete").RequestMapper("GetData").DropDown(true).Width(160).AutoFill(true)

Hi Gurunathan,

AutoFill property can resolved the issue, but it still remains 2 issues:
1. The input box save input history.
The input string is accumulative based on input string last time.
If I input a and press Enter key, "a1" is selected, and then I click delete icon(X) and input "b", it will appear "ab" in the inputbox while
what we expect is only "b" is appear in the input textbox.

2. When Backspace key is pressed only 1 character is deleted in the input textbox.
When I select all input value, and press Backspace key or click delete icon(X), only 1 character is deleted. (we want to delete all-selected).

Appreciated for your so quick response, and waiting for your further help, thanks.

Hi Gurunathan,

Regarding this issue, the expected feature are listed belows:

1. A public property or method can be used to decide whether input box should save input history or not;

2. If "don't save input history" are set, when Backspace key or Delete key is pressed or the delete icon(X) is clicked, all the value in the input textbox should be cleared, and the new input value shouldn't be based on previous input history.

could you give replay whether this feature can be realized or not.

Thanks,
Yujin
