Hi Kiran,



Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

To remove the default selection in autocomplete dropdown when the textbox is empty. We can set the selectedindex is -1 in DropdownDisplayed event in autocomplete control. Please refer the following code snippet that illustrates this:



private void autoComplete1_DropDownDisplayed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(this.textBoxExt1.Text == String.Empty)
this.autoComplete1.SelectedIndex = -1;
}




Please let me know if any concerns.

Hi Hema,

The problem still exists. When text is empty, no item in the dropdown should be selected. But consider this scenerio: dropdown is already displaying and when we delete the text, dropdown displays all the items with the first item selected by default.
I want to avoid this default selection, when there is no text.

I tried setting autoComplete.SelectedIndex = -1 in the ItemBrowsed, Customize, and DropDownDisplayed events but of no use.

Kindly let mw know how to fix this. Thanks.
