Custom Tokenizer in AutoCompleteBox

Hello, Andrea,

The Delimiter property accepts only one char symbol to tokenized the items in the autocomplete box. So, it is expected if your delimiter is ',' the text "Hello, World" to be tokenized as two items. If you want to tokenize this text as one item, then you should another delimiter, for example ';'. 

this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Delimiter = ';';
this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Text = "Hello, World;";

Currently, RadAutoCompleteBox supports only one delimiter. However, we already have a similar feature request logged in our feedback portal. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your comments on the following link - feedback item.

I hope this information is useful. Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello, Andrea,

Currently, RadAutoCompleteBox supports only one delimiter. However, you can achieve behavior when entering different delimiters to convert them to the specified one. I prepared a sample example to demonstrate this:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radAutoCompleteBox1.TextChanged += this.RadAutoCompleteBox1_TextChanged;

    this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Delimiter = ';';
    this.radAutoCompleteBox1.Text = "Hello, World;";

}
private void RadAutoCompleteBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.EndsWith(";") || radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.EndsWith(",") || radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.EndsWith(" "))
    {
        radAutoCompleteBox1.Text = radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.Substring(0, radAutoCompleteBox1.Text.Length - 1) + radAutoCompleteBox1.Delimiter;
    }
}

Thus, you can enter different delimiters and still be able to tokenize the items. Note, that this is a sample demonstration and may not cover all possible cases. Feel free to use it if it is suitable for your requirements.

IF you have other questions do not hesitate to contact me.
