Hi,

like the subject says, I'm trying to have an AJAX ComboxBox, among other controls, inside a RadPanelBar but it seems it doesn't work, since I'm getting a JavaScript error about a variable bestWidth that is set to -2.

    
            <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server"> 
        
                <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"> 
        
                </asp:ScriptManager> 
        
                <div> 
        
                    <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server"> 
        
                    <ContentTemplate> 
        
                       <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server"> 
        
                               <Items> 
        
                                   <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem1"> 
        
                                    <Items> 
        
                                        <telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                        <ItemTemplate>                                  
        
                                            <cc1:ComboBox ID="ComboBox1" runat="server" AutoCompleteMode="Append" AutoPostBack="true" DropDownStyle="DropDown"> 
        
                                            </cc1:ComboBox>                                    
        
                                        </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                        </telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                    </Items>                       
        
                                   </telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem2"> 
        
                                    <Items> 
        
                                        <telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                        <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> 
        
                                        </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                        </telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                    </Items> 
        
                                   </telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                               </Items> 
        
                        </telerik:RadPanelBar>      
        
                    </ContentTemplate> 
        
                    </asp:UpdatePanel> 
        
                </div> 
        
                </form> 
        
            </body>

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi daxriders,

We added items manually to RadCombobox, but there wasn't a problem at our end:

    
            <form id="form1" runat="server">  
        
                <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">  
        
                </asp:ScriptManager> 
        
                <div> 
        
                    <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">  
        
                        <ContentTemplate> 
        
                            <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">  
        
                                <Items> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem1">  
        
                                        <Items> 
        
                                            <telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                                <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                                    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">  
        
                                                        <Items> 
        
                                                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem1" Value="RadComboBoxItem1" /> 
        
                                                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem2" Value="RadComboBoxItem2" /> 
        
                                                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem3" Value="RadComboBoxItem3" /> 
        
                                                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem4" Value="RadComboBoxItem4" /> 
        
                                                            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem5" Value="RadComboBoxItem5" /> 
        
                                                        </Items> 
        
                                                    </telerik:RadComboBox> 
        
                                                </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                            </telerik:RadPanelItem>

                                    </telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem2">  
        
                                        <Items> 
        
                                            <telerik:RadPanelItem> 
        
                                                <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                                    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> 
        
                                                </ItemTemplate>

Hi Peter,

sorry for not being clear in my explanation: I meant that I couldnt use an AJAX-ComboBox inside the RadPanelbar.

    
            <cc1:ComboBox ID="ComboBox1" runat="server">  
        
                <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem1" Value="ListItem1"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem2" Value="ListItem2"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem3" Value="ListItem3"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem4" Value="ListItem4"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem5" Value="ListItem5"></asp:ListItem> 
        
            </cc1:ComboBox>

So try putting the above instead of the RadComboBox in your example and you wont see your list of items.

Cheers,
Dax.

Hi daxriders,

Actually, the problem is in the AJAX Combobox control when placed in an element which is initially not visible (style="display: none").

    
            <input id="Button1" type="button" value="Show DIV" onclick="OnClientClick()" /> 
        
                <div runat="server" id="div1" style="display: none"> 
        
                    <cc1:ComboBox ID="ComboBox2" runat="server" DropDownStyle="DropDownList"> 
        
                        <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem1" Value="ListItem1"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                        <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem2" Value="ListItem2"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                        <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem3" Value="ListItem3"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                        <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem4" Value="ListItem4"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                        <asp:ListItem Text="ListItem5" Value="ListItem5"></asp:ListItem> 
        
                    </cc1:ComboBox> 
        
                </div> 
        
                <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
                    function OnClientClick() { 
        
                        var myDiv = $get('<%= div1.ClientID %>'); 
        
                        myDiv.style.display = "block";             
        
                    } 
        
                </script>

I suggest you use RadComboBox control instead.
