Closing ContextChoicePopup after string filtering

[David]

Ok, i have populated my context choice popup list with 3 objects > eg, car, cardio and carpet.

As i press c on the keyboard, the list is displayed with all 3 items. As i type "car", all 3 remain but when i type "card", only cardio remains. This is as expected.

The problem is, is that if i typed "carb", then no entry matches this string and so results in an empty list. This is a little unfriendly, and i would prefer it if the context popup would close when no items are matched.

I've tried comparing the selected item with GetCurrentWord() and that doesnt work. Any help please?

Thanks in advanced, David.

Hi David,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

Please use the code snippet below to close the context popup if the entered string not matches the list.

[C#]

void editControl1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
string s = this.editControl1.GetCurrentWord();

if (s != "car" && s != "card" && s != "cardio")
{
this.editControl1.CloseContextChoice();
}
}

Please let me know if this helps you.

Regards,
Jaya

Thats how i would do it, but i want a more generic approach. Instead of having to write

!= "car" && s != "card" && s != "cardio"...

Which is very tedious, could i have something like s != editcontrol1.contextchoicecontroller.selectedItem.Text

or something similar.

Its ok i think i've solved it. I just tested whether there was anything selected in the context popup, if not then close it...

private void editControl1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (editControl1.ContextChoiceController.IsVisible)
{
if (editControl1.ContextChoiceController.SelectedItem == null)
{
editControl1.CloseContextChoice();
}
}
}

Thanks.
