CloseDropDownOnBlur doesn't always work with LoadOnDemand

[Brad]

I have a RadComboBox using LoadOnDemand with CloseDropDownOnBlur set to true. I also let the user enter custom text. However, if the user enters the text and tabs out of the field before the combo is done "loading" the values, the dropdown won't disappear until you go back to the cell and leave it again.

Any ideas?

Hi Brad,

Let me suggest you handle the pageLoad client-side event and within the handler function attach "keydown" event at RadComboBox input.
Then you can easily hide the dropdown if the Tab key has been pressed:

<script type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad() {
    var combo = $find("<%=rcboBookingNum.ClientID %>");
    $telerik.$(combo.get_inputDomElement()).keydown(function (e) {

        if (e.keyCode == 9) {

            if (combo.get_dropDownVisible()) {
                combo.hideDropDown();
            }
        }
    });
}
</script>

Please find more details at the sample page attached.
