AutoComplete: Add a way to set Text without making suggestions

I have a page where many AutoComplete controls are used. Selecting a value in one must select a value in another. We know that this value is selected by setting Text property (through object binding), but by doing this, suggestion view shows up.
I test many tweaks with ShowSuggestionView property, SuggestMode, or whatever, and there is no proper way to achieve the behavior I want.

Regards

I have updated the status of this item to "Declined" as it concerns the obsolete RadAutoComplete control. With the new AutoCompleteView you can control when the suggestion view is shown through the ShowSuggestionView property as well as the ShowSuggestions method.

Hi Clement, 

Thank you for sending this feature request.  I've updated its status to "Approved" as we consider it a valuable addition to the AutoComplete's functionality. We will keep an eye on the feedback item and schedule it according to the demand.

Regards,
Yana

I think the only workaround whitout a feature will be to set ShowSuggestionView of all AutoComplete controls to false, and use Focused and Unfocused event (fix in next major release?) to set ShowSuggestionView true only when focused.
