dynamically add multiple header templates

[Tao]

Hi,

Is there a way to add multiple header templates to radcombo with checkbox dynamically?

For example:

Title:Dog
  dog1
  dog2
Title:Cat
  cat1 
  cat2
  cat3
Title:Bird
   Bird1

Right now, I only can add one title template and list all the items together. It would be nice to have a title for each category.
Thanks,

Tao

Ok, I find a way to do it. I can add separator between each category. But I'm having another problem now. I'm displaying all the items as checkbox items. And as I do so, the separator will have a checkbox with it too. Any idea how to remove it from separator and only show checkbox for regular items?

Thanks!

Hi Tao,

 
Would you please share the code that you used in your implementation so far so we could be more helpful with your actual issue?

Hi Plamen,

Here is the code. If I don't add label control to radComboxItem, a check box will display in front of the separator.

Dictionary<string, List<string>> dicAnimal = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
       List<string> list1 = new List<string>();
       list1.Add("Dog1");
       list1.Add("Dog2");
       list1.Add("Dog3");

       dic.Add("Dog", list1);

       List<string> list2 = new List<string>();
       list2.Add("Cat1");
       list2.Add("Cat2");
       dic.Add("Cat", list2);

       List<string> list3 = new List<string>();
       list3.Add("Bird1");
       list3.Add("Bird2");
       list3.Add("Bird3");
       list3.Add("Bird4");
       dic.Add("Bird", list3);

       RadComboBoxItem rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();

       foreach (string animal in dicAnimal.Keys)
       {
           rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();
           rcItem.IsSeparator = true;

           //Label lbl = new Label();
           //lbl.Text = animal;
           //rcItem.Controls.Add(lbl);

           rcItem.Text = animal
           radComAnimal.Items.Add(rcItem);

           foreach (string name in dicAnimal[animal])
           {
               rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();
               rcItem.Text = name;
               radComAnimal.Items.Add(rcItem);
           }
       }

Hi Tao,

 
Here is the code that helped me achieve similar functionality:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      Dictionary<string, List<string>> dicAnimal = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
     List<string> list1 = new List<string>();
     list1.Add("Dog1");
     list1.Add("Dog2");
     list1.Add("Dog3");

     dicAnimal.Add("Dog", list1);

     List<string> list2 = new List<string>();
     list2.Add("Cat1");
     list2.Add("Cat2");
     dicAnimal.Add("Cat", list2);

     List<string> list3 = new List<string>();
     list3.Add("Bird1");
     list3.Add("Bird2");
     list3.Add("Bird3");
     list3.Add("Bird4");
     dicAnimal.Add("Bird", list3);

     RadComboBoxItem rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();

     foreach (string animal in dicAnimal.Keys)
     {
         rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();
         rcItem.IsSeparator = true;

         rcItem.Text = animal;
         RadComboBox1.Items.Add(rcItem);

         for (int i = 0; i < dicAnimal[animal].Count; i++)
          {
            rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();
            rcItem.Text = dicAnimal[animal][i];
             RadComboBox1.Items.Add(rcItem);

             Label lbl = new Label();
             lbl.Text = animal+(i+1);
             rcItem.Controls.Add(lbl);
          }
     }
  }

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" CheckBoxes="true"></telerik:RadComboBox>

Hope this will be helpful.

Hello,

Actually here is the correct code behind-the previous one achieved a bit different scenario:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       Dictionary<string, List<string>> dicAnimal = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
      List<string> list1 = new List<string>();
      list1.Add("Dog1");
      list1.Add("Dog2");
      list1.Add("Dog3");

      dicAnimal.Add("Dog", list1);

      List<string> list2 = new List<string>();
      list2.Add("Cat1");
      list2.Add("Cat2");
      dicAnimal.Add("Cat", list2);

      List<string> list3 = new List<string>();
      list3.Add("Bird1");
      list3.Add("Bird2");
      list3.Add("Bird3");
      list3.Add("Bird4");
      dicAnimal.Add("Bird", list3);

      RadComboBoxItem rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();

      foreach (string animal in dicAnimal.Keys)
      {
          rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();
          rcItem.IsSeparator = true;

          rcItem.Text = animal;
          RadComboBox1.Items.Add(rcItem);

          if (dicAnimal[animal]!=null)
          {
                Label lbl = new Label();
              lbl.Text = animal;
              rcItem.Controls.Add(lbl);
          }


          for (int i = 0; i < dicAnimal[animal].Count; i++)
           {
             rcItem = new RadComboBoxItem();
             rcItem.Text = dicAnimal[animal][i];
              RadComboBox1.Items.Add(rcItem);
           }
      }
   }
