RadAutoCompleteTextView has two modes for filtering suggestions.
The completion mode can be changed with the setCompletionMode
method of the TKAutoCompleteTextView's adapter. The default value is CompletionMode.STARTS_WITH
.
adapter.setCompletionMode(CompletionMode.STARTS_WITH);
this.adapter.CompletionMode = CompletionMode.StartsWith;
In CompletionMode.STARTS_WITH
mode the autocomplete shows only suggestions that start with the typed phrase.
In CompletionMode.CONTAINS
mode the autocomplete shows only suggestions that contain the typed phrase.
Contains Mode
is not intended to work with the APPEND
and SUGGEST_APPEND
modes. Since both these modes append the rest of the suggestion to the typed text, the combination between these modes won't be helpfull, it will be rather confusing.
