Hello, I am experiencing a basic problem with Telerik controls concerning when the mouse down is performed on one part of the control, and the mouse up occurs on another part of the control. The item is not selected in that case.
For example, in the case of the RadCombobox, if I click the mouse button over the drop down arrow, the combobox opens. Without releasing the mouse button, I move the cursor over an item in the drop down, and then release the button.
Expected behavior: the item would be selected and placed into the edit box portion of the combobox.
Actual behavior: the item is not selected; the drop down remains open, and I must push and release the mouse button on the desired item to select it.
This happens no matter how I set the ClickMode property.
Another example is in RadMenuStrip. If I have a simple menu:
File
Exit
and I click over File, it drops down the menu to show the Exit item. Without releasing the button, I highlight Exit and release the button.
Expected Behavior: The Exit menu item's click event is fired.
Actual Behavior: It is not fired. I have to click Exit and release mouse button again to select it.
I don't understand why this is the default behavior when normal Windows apps have been doing it my way for decades? FWIW, the DevExpress menus work exactly the same way as yours, so I'm thinking there is a fundamental change of thinking with control developers! ;)
Thanks,
David
