change color and filter multiple selection rmccbox

Hello, Mario,

According to your brief description and attached pictures, it seems that you use multiple selections in RadMultiColumnComboBox. I suppose that you follow the example shown in the following article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/multicolumncombobox/how-to/multiple-selection

If I understand you would like to change the row color of the selected items. In order to achieve this, you can use the ViewCellFormatting event and change the row color according to the state of its checkbox:

 void EditorControl_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
 {
     RadCheckBoxElement checkBox = e.CellElement.FindDescendant<RadCheckBoxElement>();

     if (checkBox.CheckState == CheckState.Checked)
     {
         e.CellElement.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Red;
     }
     else
     {
         e.CellElement.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
     }

You can see the achieved result in the attached gif file. 

According to the question in your second post, note that you can see all the checked items when you click on the arrow button. Thus, the autocomplete text box that hosts the checked items will automatically adjust its height in order to display all items:

I hope this information helps. If you have further questions please let me know.

Hi Nadya, thanks for replying. That is correct, I am using multiple selection.

I want to change the color but in the autocompleteBox according to the selected index. I have already resolved this question with the event: 

void autoCompleteBoxElement_TextBlockFormatting(object sender, TextBlockFormattingEventArgs e)

on the other hand

"According to the question in your second post, note that you can see all the checked items when you click on the arrow button. Thus, the autocomplete text box that hosts the checked items will automatically adjust its height in order to display all items"

Please try the gif example and select 6 items, and it does not adjust automatically. (ejemplo2.png)

thanks for your time

Hello, Mario,

Please excuse me that I did not get you right that you would like to change the color for the items in the autocomplete text box, instead I provided a solution for coloring the rows in the grid. Providing accurate information of the desired behavior in the begging is of high importance to us since we suggest our solutions based on the information we have so far. This is why I highly recommend you to give more clear information about the desired behavior that you would like to achieve. Thus, we would be able to provide more accurate solutions that resolve your problem. However, I am glad that you managed to find a working solution for coloring the items in the text box field. 

According to your second question, in order to make the text box autosize when there are more items added you should close the drop-down in order to redraw the text box and adjust its height. This can be done in the DropDownClosing event as shown below:

 void radMultiColumnCombobox1_DropDownClosing(object sender, RadPopupClosingEventArgs args)
 {
     //...
     args.Cancel = false;
 }

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
