Users need to restrict suggestion of already selected tokens. 

In other words when users create a token, that particular item should not be suggested when typing new tokens anymore.

Provide an Auto option for the SuggestionViewHeight that would dynamically change depending on the content.

When the control is hosted inside RadPopup, the application crashes. This is due to the fact that nesting popups is not supported.

Consider changing the implementation of the RadAutoCompleteView to use different control for visualizing suggestions and NoResults message.

Provide a way to access the Entry control, so users can manipulate it through custom renderers/platform effects, for example to suppress the soft keyboard.

The suggestions view won't disappear when the AutoCompleteView loses and receives focus and the entered text is quickly deleted.

Hello,

 

As per forum thread https://www.telerik.com/forums/autocompleteview-causes-memory-leaks ACV control causes memory leaks on iOS.

Here is the repro project https://github.com/VitalyKnyazev/AutoCompleteViewLeak

 

Thanks

Hello Telerik team !

I would like to suggest an improvement which should already be implemented as it may be a common requirement. (notice that I'm aware it's still in beta that's why I suggest a feature request).

Context :
Use a RadAutoCompleteView. Start to type something and select an item from the suggestions.

Current behavior :
The item is well selected but the keyboard remains visible even if you hide the suggestion view.

Expected behavior :
When selecting an item, the keyboard should be collapsed. (I tried to use a KeyboardService injected from platform specific implementation with dependency injection. I manage to make it work on Android but I couldn't find a workaround on iOS).

PS : it would be awesome to have a bindable property on this control which allows us to tell the control "hide the suggestion view and hide the keyboard when an item gets selected (touch input from user)". Name suggested : HideSuggestionAndKeyboardOnItemSelected (I didn't find a shorter name sorry  haha). Type : bool.

Pointing how to achieve that should be in the documentation as most of developpers who will use this control may want to achieve the same behavior. You'll save time and theirs if they don't need to reach you out and open a ticket to ask you how to do that.

Best regards to everyone!

I need suggestion view wider than entry. Provide SuggestionView width property for AutoComplete. 

Add API to change the color of the ClearText icon (x) shown when the input field of the AutoCompleteView is focused.

Add ability to change the color of the entry underline. At this moment this is hardcoded to be the Accent color of the application.

Add ability to change the color of the Caret (cursor). Currently this can be the Accent color of the application only.

When the control lost focus and tokens almost fill all the space, the ShowMoreTemplate causes flickering.

The AutoCompleteView is not visible in the Accessibility tree.
Setting AutomationId to the control has no effect and the element cannot be accessed in a testing project.

Add an event for the clear button click. 

This functionality could be achieved by listening to PropertyChanged, or using TwoWay binding,  on the AutoComplete.Text property. However on iOS this doesn't occur when the X button is clicked, so it's not a viable workaround.

Setting the FontSize property of the AutoCompleteView control to anything larger than 20 badly clips the text of both watermark and selected/written text, at least on iOS. I've tried various "hacks" with increased control heights and/or padding, themes etc, but it doesn't matter, it still clips. 

Seems to work fine using RadEntry for example, so it should really be the same with AutoComplete?

Reproducing is as obvious as setting the FontSize property.

Provide an option for determine whether the SuggestionView is open or not.

Make it possible to set different width to the SuggestionView than the width of the input field.
