Hi
I need to bind a dataset to the dropdown part of a RadCombo but everything I try fails so I've reverted to the VB.net Combo.
Can you give me the basic vb.net code to get me started.
Many thanks
Mitch

Hi Mitch,
In the RadComboBox\Music Collection example you can find the following code that binds the cmbArtist combo box to the ArtistName column from the Artists DataTable in the MusicCollection dataset:
I hope that answers your question properly but if you have any further questions regarding the databinding process do not hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,

| Me.cmbArtist.DataSource = Me.artistsBindingSource |
| Me.cmbArtist.DisplayMember = "ArtistName" |
| Me.artistsBindingSource.DataMember = "Artists" |
| Me.artistsBindingSource.DataSource = Me.musicCollectionDataSetBindingSource |
| Me.musicCollectionDataSetBindingSource.DataSource = Me.musicCollectionDataSet |
| Me.musicCollectionDataSetBindingSource.Position = 0 |
| Me.artistsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.musicCollectionDataSet.Artists) |

There seems to be a problem with binding to a datatable. Using your example, I added the following 2 lines to the "btnFillDataTable" click event handler:
Me.radComboBox2.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
Me.radComboBox2.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList
Now it is impossible to select a value by typing...
Me.radComboBox2.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
Me.radComboBox2.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList
Now it is impossible to select a value by typing...

Hi Mitch,
If I understand you correctly, setting the DropDownStyle to DropDown will solve your problem.

Not really. A dropdownlist is supposed to prevent the user from entering a value that isn't in the list. I want to restrict the selection to only values in the datatable.

Hi Mitch,
Our RadComboBox does not have this feature at the moment. Currently it implements the behavior of the WinForms ComboBox. We already have that feature in out TODO list and we have planned to implement it after the Q1 2007 SP1 release.
