Defocus ComboBox on Option Selection

[Levi]

Is there a way to set focus away from a combobox after a user selects an item? I want the ComboBox to lose focus immediately after the user makes a selection.

Hi Levi,

Try out the following code snippet for setting the focus away from RadComboBox on selecting an item.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="OnClientSelectedIndexChanged" >
       <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item1"  Value="Item1" runat="server"></telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item2" Value="Item2" runat="server"></telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item3" Value="Item3" runat="server"></telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
       </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function  OnClientSelectedIndexChanged(sender, args)
{
  var dom = sender.get_inputDomElement();
  dom.blur();
}
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks for this, although the code does not seem to have any effect. I checked to make sure it was getting called and everything seems as expected. It does not raise an error though. When the code gets called it is as if nothing happened. I tried both IE and Firefox. Any ideas?

Hi Levi,

I tried above code found that it is working fine in Firefox and IE6. The RadComboBox loses focus on selection changing. Could you paste the code which you tried if it is different from the code I tried?

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Levi,

could it be that you do a callback / postback with your combobox?
If so there are different approaches to achieve what you want.

I couldn't test the function Shinu provided (I'm almost sure it works) - but I do something like this - I set the focus to a different control on the page - which works.
