    Hi, i would like to know if the autocompleter can select automatically one option after the user has entered the full string. At the Moment, only a click on a list-item of the autocompleter selects the value right. See Image… or just try it out on the public demos available.

    This Scenario is specially needed for short values like units. The user enters for example a “A” for Ampere and have to click on the one item that was found.

    Any possible solution?

    Best regards, Asmir

    Hi,

    The observed behavior is design behavior for AutoComplete.

    If you want the first values to be selected automatically, consider using ComboBox which provides the required functionality.

    Please refer to the demo sample for the same.
