Multiple Rows

Is there a way to show more than one row?  Or is there a list box autocomplete in the library? The webcombo box still only shows a single row before you select/expand it.

    Hi,

    If you are referring to the contents of the WebDropDown in terms of number of items, the WebDropDown can bind to any number of records, every dropdown item in the control represents a "row". Additionally, you can have a template so that you achieve multi-column rendering. Additionally, you can render any control inside a single DropDown Item. Your template itself for a single item ("Row") can be itself multi-line, depending on HTML /CSS in the template.

    If you are referring to the actual dropdown edit area (the input box) - it cannot span several "rows". Probably  "row" is not the best word to use here, I guess it's "multi-line text" or something like that - for the input. That's my understanding at least. 

    About your second question - there is autocomplete functionality which is highly configurable. There is full automatic server-side and client-side filtering, where you don't need to write custom code. You just set EnableAutoFiltering = {Server, Client, Off}, and if it is server, bind the dropdown to some data source. Another feature is the EnableAutoCompleteFirstMatch, which autocompletes the match and highlights the remaining part in the input box.

    Hope this helps. Thanks for your feedback , if you have any other questions I would be glad to help.
