How to Filter the items in WPF AutoComplete Control?
Autocomplete control allows to filter the items by SuggestionMode Property.
It can be enabled or disabled by setting the SuggestionMode value of Autocomplete as Contains, StartsWith, Equals or Custom .
The same has been explained in the following code snippet:
XAML:
//Code Explains how to filter the items in Autocomplete control <Window x:Class="AutoComplete.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:AutoComplete" xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid><syncfusion:SfAutocomplete x:Name="Autocomplete"
AutoCompleteSource ="{Binding item}"
SearchItemPath="item"
SuggestionMode="Contains"
AutoCompleteMode="Suggest"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="40" Width="150" Margin="176,125,177,0"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
C#:
//Code explains how to filter the items in AutoComplte control namespace AutoComplete { public partial class MainWindow : Window { AutoCompleteList obj = new AutoCompleteList(); public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); Autocomplete.AutoCompleteSource = obj; } }
public class Autocomplete { public string item { get; set; }
public class AutocompleteList : List<AutoComplete> { public AutoCompleteList() { this.Add(new Autocomplete() { item = "item 1" }); this.Add(new Autocomplete() { item = "item 2" }); this.Add(new Autocomplete() { item = "item 3" }); this.Add(new Autocomplete() { item = "item 4" }); this.Add(new Autocomplete() { item = "item 5" }); this.Add(new Autocomplete() { item = "item 6" }); } } }
Output:
Filter Enable
Filter Disable:
