Google Place Autocomplete issues

[Alexis]

Hi,

I try to setup the google place autocomplete results in the sfautocomplete control. 

It works well when the results are fitting well to the datasource provided.

My issue is that google is providing some closer results and it doesn't appear in the filter suggestion box.

I setup: IgnoreDiacritic="true" AutoCompleteMode="Suggest" SuggestionMode="Contains" MinimumPrefixCharacters="4"

But some results I got form google don't appear in the suggestion box because the text value don't fit the algorithms in the source code of the sfautocomplete.

Is there a way to provide a datasource and the text box independently. I provide the results everytime the text changes. I don't need the suggestion contains or other because my api returns the values.

Can you help on this?

Thanks,

Hi Alexis,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We would like to inform that you can use SuggestionMode as Custom to achieve your requirement. Please find the below code snippet to show Suggestion when setting SuggestionMode as Custom.  

Code Snippet:
  

autoComplete.Filter = ContainingSpaceFilter;

 public bool ContainingSpaceFilter(string search, object item)  

        {  

            string text = item.ToString().ToLower();  

            if (item != null)  

            {  

                if (!search.Contains("."))  

                {  

                    search = search.Insert(0, ".");  

                }  

  

                if (text.StartsWith(search.ToLower()))  

                {  

                    return true;  

                }  

            }  

  

            return false;  

        }

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I finally decided to use a combobox with AllowFiltering=false
