Get selected value from DataSource

[Ian Nájar]

I set a List<object> to the DataSource property of a SfAutoComplete control,

How can I retrieve the value once the value is selected?

I'm only able to get the displayed text value (with Text property), but not the object which is refering to.

Hi Chozarajan

I've looked at the solution in the link supplied, when selecting from the dropdown for the first time the autoComplete.SelectedIndex shows 0 , on every subsequent selection, the dropdown shows the previously selected item and not the currently selected item. 

is that the correct expected behaviour, and if so, what would be the best way to get the currently selected item?

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for your update.

SelectedIndex value starts from zero in nature. So whenever your are selecting the first item it will display one index less than actual. We have modified the sample for your convenience.please download the same from the following link.

Hi, thanks for the updated example.

I've included a few screenshots to demonstrate the steps to recreate the issue as experienced in the ios version

Image 1 

Selected 'aseka' and the selected value is displaying as empty while it should be 'AKT'

Image 2 

Selected 'akabe' and the selected value is displaying 'AKT' from previous selection while is should be 'SSKV'
