Rename Listbox Item client-side

[Roby Kaufman]

Version: RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX 2009 Q3 (1208)

I have been unable to refresh a listbox after renaming an item using the following code.  I have also attempted using the listbox track/commit functions pre/post rename to no avail.

var listbox = $find("<%= MyListBox.ClientID %>");
var selectedItem = listbox.get_selectedItem();
if (selectedItem) {
 selectedItem.set_text("New Name");
 listbox.repaint();
}

Please suggest the correct method for renaming a listbox item so that it may be visible to the end user.

Thanks,
Karlin

Hi Karlin,

I've tested this code and it worked at our side. Could you please open a support ticket and send us a simple page illustrating the problem. Thanks

Kind regards,

Ok, I've submitted a support ticket.  I need to further clarify my situation.  I am unable to rename an item that has been moved from another listbox via the listbox to listbox transfer functionality.

If anyone else is having the same issue, here is the current workaround from Telerik support:

if (selectedItem) {
                selectedItem._textElement =
                    $telerik.$(selectedItem.get_element()).children("span")[0];
                selectedItem.set_text('new text');
            }

I'm told this should be fixed in the next release.
