Enter Key is not setting the underlying property when bound in MVVM

[Amit Saraf]

Hi,

please refer following post

Tab event not setting the underlying pro... | WPF Forums | Syncfusion®

I'm facing the same problem, but the difference is, in my project Enter Key sets focus to next control or executes Save Command as the case may be

But SfTextBoxExt does not update SelectedItem when user presses Enter Key.

Can you please Help me with this.

Thanks for your reply

I've modified your sample for easy understanding.

Also attached a short video

when you enter few characters and press enter no item is selected on the other hand if you press tab key 1st matched item is selected.

I want the same behavior as that of tab key with enter key.

Thanks for your help

Hi Amit Saraf,

Thank you for sharing the details. We have reviewed your scenario and understand the exact issue. The behavior occurs because pressing the Enter key does not automatically select the first suggestion,  unlike the Tab key.

To resolve this, the recommended workaround is to handle the Enter key event so that the first matching item from the suggestion list is selected and the suggestion popup is closed immediately after selection. This approach ensures that the user experience remains consistent with the Tab key behavior and provides a smooth interaction when choosing items.

For your reference, we have attached a sample project that demonstrates this solution.
