AutoComplete Auto Select Value

Hi there,
Would it be possible to add the ability to the AutoComplete control to select the top value as you type in the value? Telerik and SycnFusion have one that does that if the AutoComplete is set to true. Our end users would love this.
Thanks for your help!

Sure! We accept pull requests!

Has this thought bounced around since 2024? We are trying to get away from needing to have two separate control bases in our app. The Dropdown is close but the users don’t like how the dropdown AutoFocus works with Shift+Tab to go back when AutoFocus in on because that doesn’t work. I looked at the code base to see where this change could go on the AutoComplete for select first item in the Data, and didn’t really see where it would belong. Just hoping that since you have most controls great, that you could backlog this idea and see how much effort is needed to add an AutoSelect first item in the list option.

Here is the Issue with the DropDown, using your site if you replace the single dropdown with this
<RadzenDropDown @ref=@radzenDropDown @bind-SearchText=SearchText FilterCaseSensitivity="FilterCaseSensitivity.CaseInsensitive" FilterOperator="StringFilterOperator.StartsWith" AllowFiltering="true"

                Data=@customers TabIndex="1" TextProperty="@nameof(Customer.CompanyName)" OpenOnFocus="true" ValueProperty="@nameof(Customer.CustomerID)" AllowClear="true" @bind-Value=value Style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;" Name="DropDownFiltering" />

<RadzenDropDown @ref=@radzenDropDown @bind-SearchText=SearchText FilterCaseSensitivity="FilterCaseSensitivity.CaseInsensitive" FilterOperator="StringFilterOperator.StartsWith" AllowFiltering="true"

                Data=@customers TabIndex="2" TextProperty="@nameof(Customer.CompanyName)" OpenOnFocus="true" ValueProperty="@nameof(Customer.CustomerID)" AllowClear="true" @bind-Value=value Style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;" Name="DropDownFiltering" />

open one of them Hold Shift+Tab it will not close the dropdown.

It will be fixed in our next update later the day.
