ClientSide ComboBox.Select() method trigger valueChange event ... after next click on the page. Normal ?

[AccMan]

Hello,

I notices that the client side select() function works strangely.
I tried this on your online demos (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/combobox/clientsideapi) and I noticed the same "problem".

1) With Firebug/Chrome, bind to the valueChange  event of the #ComboBox element a simple function : 
==> $("#ComboBox").bind('valueChange', function() { alert('Value changed event triggered'); })

2) Change the index of the value to select, then, press the select button
==> The displayed element of the combobox change, but no event, normal

3) Click anywhere in the page 
==> the valueChange event is fired and the alert message is displayed.

I think this can be a new issue for the combobox component, because I think the select() function should ever trigger this event ... or never :)

Thanks for your answer.

Hello Jerome,

 
The described behavior is expected. The select method just selects item, but does not prevent the change event. The change event is raised on document click, because the component checks whether the value is changed and the change event is not raised. If you need to set the value of the component and do not raise change event use value() method.

All the best,
