Client-Side API: ClientID, ID... something?

[David]

Hello, all

I'm trying to tie into the OnClientKeyPressed event of the RadCombobox (really wished you had an onclientkeyup event, but...). My RadCombobox is in a grid, which makes it difficult to assess its ClientID. I've been scouring through the Client-Side-API, which implies I could just reference the ClientID, or the ID, however both of these are returning "undefined". Since it is an OnKeyPressed event, I could just set a reference to the control, and then do some jquery to tie into the OnKeyUp event on client-side, but this seems "hacky". I wanted to know if there is a more "blessed" solution. My code is as follows:

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">



function getAutocompleteItems(sender, eventArgs) {

    alert(sender.ClientID)  // returns "undefined"



    alert(sender.ID) // returns "undefined"

    //var cboItem = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItem();

    //cboItem.set_text("Help... somebody!!!");

    sender.trackChanges();



    var items = sender.get_items()

    for (var i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {

        if (!items.getItem(i).get_text().toLowerCase().indexOf(sender.get_text().toLowerCase()) == 0) {

        items.remove(items.getItem(i));

        }

    }

    //sender.get_items().add(cboItem);

    sender.commitChanges();

}

</script>
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="LineItem" UniqueName="grdColHostIDDef">

<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Width="0%" VerticalAlign="Top" />

Hello David,

To get the controls id, you would use: sender.get_id().

I hope that helps.
