Features

• Powerful Auto-complete Functionality
  r.a.d.combobox has full autocomplete support - while you type into the input area, the combobox fires a server-side event that returns all the relative matches for the currently typed text.
• Load On Demand
  r.a.d.combobox can load data on demand based on the current value of the combobox input field. Whenever the state of the input changes, r.a.d.combobox fires a server-side event with the current state of the input as a parameter.

  You can embed any content inside a r.a.d.combobox template, including HTML markup and ASP.NET server controls, as well as other third-party controls (and any control from the telerik r.a.d.controls suite as well).
• Section 508 Compliance
  In compliance with Section 508 regulations, r.a.d.combobox is fully navigable using the keyboard. r.a.d.combobox can be accessed with the Tab Key as well as with an Access Key shortcut. You can use arrow keys to open and close the combobox and navigate through the items. Items can be selected with Space or Enter keys.
