Good morning,
is there a way to disable the blinking cursor at the end of the ComboBox select Box?

See attached a example image.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Dirk

Hello Dirk,

I hope you do not want to allow typing into your combobox input. If so, inorder to remove the cursor from the input box of the RadComboBox, make sure that the AllowCustomText and MarkFirstMatch properties of the combobox are set to false.

Thanks
Princy.

Hi,
i set both properties to "false", but the cursor is still there?

This is the code of my ComboBox:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="CategoryGroup" AllowCustomText="false" MarkFirstMatch="false" runat="server" DataValueField="GROUP_CODE" DataTextField="DESCRIPTION" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="CategoryGroup_SelectedIndexChanged" Width="100%"
</telerik:RadComboBox> 

Any other ideas?

Regards
Dirk

Hi everyone!

Today I stepped onto the same problem, but good news! I found a solution after a couple of minutes.

Telerik personel said that was IMPOSSIBLE on another thread! I say different!

Just add this to your ComboBox instance and you're done!

instance.OnClientDropDownOpening = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
instance.OnClientDropDownOpened = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
instance.OnClientDropDownClosed = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
instance.OnClientDropDownClosing = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";

I tested here and it works just fine.

If you (like me) likes to inherit Telerik's classes so your coding would be better, your class implementation should look like this:
public class MyComboBox : Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox
{
    public MyComboBox()
    {
        this.OnClientDropDownOpening = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
        this.OnClientDropDownOpened = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
        this.OnClientDropDownClosed = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
        this.OnClientDropDownClosing = "function(sender, args){sender._inputDomElement.blur();}";
    }
}

I simply LOVE javascript! I always tell people, there's NOTHING that you CAN'T DO with javascript!
Sometimes you don't know how to do it, but fortunately you CAN.

Thanks everyone!

This fix does not appear to (FULLY) work.  If you expand the combobox and then click back in the textbox portion of it, the cursor will appear.

Not for me.
Here this sample is working just fine.

Which browser are you using and which version?

Thanks!

I'm using IE9, latest (9/15/11) Telerik version.  Basically the steps to reproduce are this:

1) You expand the dropdown portion.  This causes the client side Opening and Opened events to fire, which blur away the cursor.
2) With the dropdown still opened, click in the textbox portion of the combobox.  (The dropdown doesn't automatically close in this case). The cursor appears, which seems expected becasue it will not be blurred again until the closing/closed events fire.

function DisableCursorInCombo() {
        var combo = $find("--Your Combo Box Id--");
        var input = combo.get_inputDomElement();
        input.disabled = "disabled";
    }

Use the above mentioned script onclientload event in your combo box.

       var combo = $find('<%= rcbDynamicContentSegements.ClientID %>');
       var input = combo.get_inputDomElement();
       input.blur()
   }​
