Hello Stefan,

I'm trying to replace our current use of your ComboBox control with this new MultiColumnComboBox. In the ComboBox, when searching for a multi-word string you don't need to put quotes around your term. I'm not completely sure what you mean by the cell or the whole row. Perhaps I'm just talking about a cell because in my application I want the searching to happen on just one of the columns of the multi-column box.

Hope that helps, and thanks,

Emilio

Hi Emilio,

Can you please clarify whether you refer to having control over the search operator for the cell, or for the whole row? Based on your inquiry I get the impression that you refer to the cell, but can you please confirm? Also, the searching mechanism of RadMulticolumnComboBox is equivalent to the one of RadGridView. So, for example you can search for the exact same value by adding quotes to the search criteria. Please, take a look at the Modifying the Search Criteria section for further reference.

Related to handling spaces, it would be good to be able to have a say in whether it's using an AND or and OR. If I type "Hot tea" in the search box, I want it to narrow down the possible items to just those that have both terms. I wouldn't want to see items that only have one of the words.

Also, I'd want the order of the search results to start with items that contain the whole string, spaces and all.

Thank you!
