How to clear previous selection in code behind?

[Rohan Satpute]

Hello,

I am using SfAutoComplete control for my project. The behaviour I am after is when an item is selected from the suggestion list, 

1. I want add it to an ObservableCollection in code behind 

2. After it is added to the collection, I want to clear the selection from the view (which is the functionality of the cross icon click on the selection)

I am able to add it, but not able to clear the selection from code after addition. I tried method ClearValue(SfAutoComplete.SelectedValueProperty), but it seems to be doing nothing.

Please help.

Best, 

Rohan

Hi,

 Your project just shows a normal working sfautocomplete and clearing from UI (clicking the cross button). What I wanted to achieve is to use a method in code behind to clear the selected value on occurrence of an external event. I tried ClearValue method, but it doesn't work. 

Best,

Rohan.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue with the latest binaries.... I used to be able to clear the text value  .Text = string.Empty;

but now.. nothing seems to be able to clear the value except the 'X' on the screen...

Hi Rohan,

The reported issue "The SelectedValue has not cleared if we set the String.Empty to Text API" has already fixed in SfAutoComplete and we have provided the custom assemblies to you in your account. Please log on to our support website to check for further updates.
