Can't reselect first item...

[dstj]

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with Prometheus' RadComboBox. Reselecting the first item in the list is not possible if you select another item...

You can reproduced the problem with your own online demo (Version Q3 2007 released 02/25/2008) :
http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/Combobox/Examples/Functionality/MultiColumnCombo/DefaultCS.aspx

To reproduce :
- Using the mouse, select for example "Antonio Moreno Taquería; México D.F.; Owner".
- You can't reselect the first item "Alfreds Futterkiste; Berlin; Sales Representative". You can only select item 2 and up...

- You can do it using the keyboard, but then you'll be unable to reselect the previous item (Antonio Moreno Taquería; México D.F.; Owner) with the mouse...

Obviously, this is a big big problem for us as you can no doubt imagine.

Thanks for your help,

Dominic.

Hi dstj,

I understand what the problem is.

The reason for it is that all your items have equal values. I suggest you set them to different values. For an example you can edit method of our example as follows:

protected void RadComboBox1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Item.Text = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["CompanyName"].ToString() + "; " + ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["City"].ToString() + "; " + ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["ContactTitle"].ToString();
            e.Item.Value = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["CompanyName"].ToString() + "; " + ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["City"].ToString() + "; " + ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["ContactTitle"].ToString();
        }

Thus, every item will have the same value as its text.

This should help. Give it a try and let us known how this goes.
