I have a RadAutoComplete which works fine. But what I need to do is to be able to Clear the selected value programmatically (not using the clear button).
We have a use case where a user can have a selected value from the autocomplete, but then they use a toggle/button to change how the screen performs an API (not using the RadAutoCompelte selected value, but a different property), but when the user selects that toggle, it still leaves the selected value in the UI.
The user can be confused as to what style lookup they are performing seeing as when they toggle the other style lookup using the toggle button, the selected value from the autocomplete is not cleared.
I have been unable to find an event or option to clear the selected value in the display.
Can you tell me if there is a way to do this?
thanks
Billy

Hi Billy,
Thank you for the provided details.
It depends whether the display mode is set to Tokens or it is Plain
If you want to clear the Text in the AutoComplete, and displayMode is Plain, then set the text to empty string or null. The Text property is bindable property:
private void Switch_Toggled(object sender, ToggledEventArgs e)
{
this.auto.Text = "";
}
<VerticalStackLayout>
<Switch Toggled="Switch_Toggled"/>
<telerik:RadAutoComplete x:Name="auto" />
</VerticalStackLayout>If the DisplayMode is Tokens then you can clear the tokens collection:
private void Switch_Toggled(object sender, ToggledEventArgs e)
{
this.auto.Tokens.Clear();
}
<VerticalStackLayout>
<Switch Toggled="Switch_Toggled"/>
<telerik:RadAutoComplete x:Name="auto" DisplayMode="Tokens"/>
</VerticalStackLayout>

Depending on the display mode:
Tokens DisplayMode -> you have to use the Tokens collection,
Plain DisplayMode -> you have to use the Text property.
How to get the data requires custom logic implementation.
