I have multiple comboboxes on a WPF window. Each is populated from a ViewModel. I am trying to implement AutoComplete. I have tried using a WPF combobox and telerik combobox. I can't even begin to test whether my autocomplete functionality is workign or not because I cannot type in the combobox. i can only use backspace and spacebar. I have IsEditable set to true. Is there something very basic I am missing?
My xaml from one of the comboboxes
<DockPanel Style="{StaticResource DockPanelStyle}">
<Label Content="Model" DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>
<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="cboModel" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Width="100" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Models}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ComboBoxCustomTemplate}" IsEditable="True" StaysOpenOnEdit="True"
telerik:TextSearch.TextPath="value"/>
</DockPanel>
The DockPanel above is inside a stackpanel which is inside a grid.
Here is the relevant code from my ViewModel
public void LoadModels()
{
try
{
List<CommonData.Model> model = factory.GetStaticModels();
foreach (CommonData.Model m in model)
{
Models.Add(new CommonData.Model()
{
value = m.value
});
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//leaving this out
}
}
private List<CommonData.Model> _models = new List<CommonData.Model>();
public List<CommonData.Model> Models
{
get
{
return _models;
}
set
{
_models = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Models");
}
}
And finally, this is my Model class(not MVVM Model, the name of the class is Model)
[Serializable]
public class Model
{
private string models;
public string value
{
get;
set;
}
}
Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated. I am very new to WPF and I feel like I am missing something very basic but having spent a good part of 3-4 days on this, its becoming quite ridiculous now.
