Hi,

I'm using a radcombobox within a edititemtemplate and I would like to get the selected item on the client side but no matter which technique I use I always recieve "Object expected error" or "Microsoft JScript runtime error: radcombobox1 is undefined". I'm new
to rad controls I've spent all day on this , I must be doing something wrong. Can you help?

Thanks,

Hi Ron,

The RadComboBox for the ASP.NET AJAX controls does not have an edittemplate. You can take a look at the demo of the control. Can you provide more information on the scenario that you have. I would also suggest that you take a look at our on-line documentation for client-side properties of the RadComboBox here.

Best wishes,

It's embedded in the radgrid. How would I get the selected value onclientselectedindexchanged. I really appreciate your help.

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="grdInvoiceItems" runat="server" DataSourceID="objInvoiceItems"
             Height="150px" Width="100%" AutoGenerateColumns="false" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True"
             AllowMultiRowEdit="true"  onprerender="grdInvoiceItems_PreRender" 
            <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Id" EditMode="InPlace"  AutoGenerateColumns="False" >
                <Columns>
                <%--<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton">
                    <HeaderStyle Width="100px" />
                </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn> --%>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id" Visible="false">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Items" DataField="Items" UniqueName="Items"  EditFormColumnIndex="1">

                                      onselectedindexchanged="ddlItems_SelectedIndexChanged">
                                         <Items>
                                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Select Item" Value="Select Item" ></telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
                                        </Items>
                            </telerik:RadComboBox>
                        </EditItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hello Ron,

RadComboBox provides a flexible client-side API. You can easily interact with the combobox in the browser using the combobox client-side object.You can attach the OnClientSelectedIndexChanged event to the RadComboBox and access the selectedItem. Here is a sample code.

JavaScript:

aspx:

RadComboBox Object
