    Hi,

    Sorry, the title should say "Cannot" instead of "Can" :)

    I am using a custom combobox which inheritates from the RadComboBox. I have added some public properties which are

    [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.Attribute)]


    I need to access these custom properties from a javascript function called from the OnClientBlur client side event. Unfortunately they are not acessible. I must be missing something very obvious but I am stuck as some code in this function must only be performed depending on the values of these properties. How can I achieve that?

    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,

    I suppose you want to retrieve the attributes of RadComboBox from the client side. Try the following code snippet.

    C#:
    RadComboBox1.Attributes.Add("key", "attribute value");

    JS:
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function OnClientBlur(sender, args) {
            var value = sender.get_attributes().getAttribute("key");
            alert(value);
        }
    </script>

    Please take a look into this documentation for more information.

    Regards,
    Princy.

    Hi,

    thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it is not working.

    I have the following definition for my dropdown.
    <stm:STMRadComboBox ID="ComboChefCC" runat="server" Width="100%"
                                        DataTextField="NomMatricule" DataValueField="No_Empl" ZIndex="7001" EmptyMessage="- nom ou matricule -"                   
                                        ShowToggleImage="true" MarkFirstMatch="true"
                                        EnableLoadOnDemand="True" ItemsPerRequest="10" ShowMoreResultsBox="true" EnableVirtualScrolling="true"
                                        OnItemsRequested="ComboChefCC_ItemsRequested" OnClientBlur="ClearComboCustomTextOnBlur2" IsForcedOnFirstItem="true">
    </stm:STMRadComboBox>


    and I am using what you suggested to retrieve the attributes .

    function ClearComboCustomTextOnBlur2(sender, eventArgs) {
        var value = sender.get_attributes().getAttribute("ShowToggleImage");       
    }


    I tried different attributes but value is always undefined wether the attribute is custom or not.

    For testing purposes I also tried to retrieve the index of the selected item using

    var index = eventArgs.get_item().get_index();


    but I get an error saying that the object doesn't manage the property or method "get_item". (sorry the message is in French and probably doesn't translate properly)

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks

    ShowToggleImage is a combobox property - it is not a combobox Item Attribute.
    If you want to access an Item attribute - you have to set it.
    I suppose that this article will help you: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/combobox-custom-attributes.html

    thanks for your reply.

    I must be missing something.

    I have a custom dropdown inheritating from the radComboBox. It has some custom properties set from code-behind. I need to access these properties from javascript, do some process and set some of them. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to acess them from javascript.

    Is there a way of doing it?

    Thanks again

    Hello Elisabeth,

    If you refer to Princy's initial post, that is how you get properties to appear on the client, in order to be able to access it using javascript.

    I hope that helps.
