Change header text of combobox

[Ralph]

Hallo,

I have a RadComboBox with set "CheckBoxes = true". The header displayes always "X items checked". I want to display an other text. How can I affect the header text?

Thanks

Hello,

Try setting ItemsCheckedString property in Localization as shown.
ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AllowCustomText="true" CheckBoxes="true" EnableCheckAllItemsCheckBox="true">
  <Localization ItemsCheckedString="Your Text" />
   <Items>
            ... ... ...
   </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy,

thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately this is not the solution to my problem.
I want to display the Text "Choose columns".
If I change the Property the following is displayed: "8 Choose Columns".
I don't want to display the number of items checked.
Is there an other solution?
Thank you

I also would like to change this text without having the selected checkboxes count as prefix. How can we achieve this?

Hi,

Please set the RadComboBox CheckedItemsTexts property to "DisplayAllInInput".
You can test the control behaviour upon different property configurations here.

That makes it a bit better, but the best solution would be if I could display a custom text. Is this possible?

Hello,

I am afraid that displaying custom text in RadComboBox input when the CheckBoxes feature is enabled is not supported.
