Combo box with checkboxes

[Jon]

Hi,

Am I right that the next version (Q2 2011) will include built in checkbox support for combo boxes.  At the moment I have a custom control based on the radcombobox that uses templates to handle checkboxes.  It works but so far I have managed to avoid using it with related combos.  

Now I will soon have the necessity to do this I'm wondering whether to enhance what my control does or wait for the next release?

Could you confirm if the new version will have built in checkbox support and if so when can we expect the beta for testing?

Regards,

Jon

Hello Jon,

Implementing a RadComboBox feature - multiple select with checkboxes - has been scheduled for the next release.

Hi Kalina,

Sounds good - although by the next release do you mean Q2 2011 or Q3 2011?

Great thanks Kalina.  The only downside is that that is one more improvement that I'll be wanting to get running in my system!  Most updates I get maybe 1 or 2 changes.  This time round I'm going to be integrating a ton of changes!

Best Regards,

Jon

I'm changing my current implementation to use this new feature, my bindings have an ID & value. How do I get a comma separated list of id's.

'put together a comma separated list of all selected Specialties

Dim Specialty As String = String.Empty

 

Dim sb As New StringBuilder()

Dim collection As IList(Of RadComboBoxItem) = ddlSpecialty.CheckedItems

 

For Each item As RadComboBoxItem In collection

    sb.Append(item.Value + ",")

Next

 

Specialty = sb.ToString
