Combobox dropdown display

[Raymond]

I have a aspx which contains a popu as follows

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbPopup" runat="server" Text="popup" OnClientClick="return showradwindow1();" />
 <telerik:RadWindowManager id="rwmIncome" Skin="Outlook" runat="server">
        <windows>
         <telerik:RadWindow id="rwIncome"
                Left="100px" Modal="true" Runat="server" ReloadOnShow="true"
                Width="1100px" Height="780px" Title="Income Dialog">
            </telerik:RadWindow>
        </windows>
    </telerik:RadWindowManager>
    <script  type="text/javascript">
            function showradwindow1()
            {
                window.radopen("radwindow11.aspx", "rwIncome");
                return false;
            }

        </script>

After clicking the linkbutton, the combodropdown is shown correctly. the coding of this page is
 <asp:LinkButton ID="lbPopup" runat="server" Text="popup" OnClientClick="return showradwindow2();" />
   <telerik:RadComboBox id="rcbType" runat="server" Skin="Vista">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="1" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="2" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="3" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="4" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="5" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="6" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>
    <telerik:RadWindowManager id="rwmIncome" Skin="Outlook" runat="server">
        <windows>
         <telerik:RadWindow id="rwIncome"
                Left="100px" Modal="true" Runat="server" ReloadOnShow="true"
                Width="180px" Height="780px" Title="Income Dialog">
            </telerik:RadWindow>
        </windows>
    </telerik:RadWindowManager>
        <script  type="text/javascript">
            function showradwindow2()
            {
                window.radopen("radwindow111.aspx", "rwIncome");
                return false;
            }

        </script>

When clicking popup in this page, the combodropdown cannot be seen
    <telerik:RadComboBox id="rcbType" runat="server" Skin="Vista">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="1" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="2" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="3" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="4" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="5" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="6" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>

Hi,
 I have this issue with RadComboBox  too. I have a RadGrid and a search panel which has several RadComboBox-es. When I export the grid to CSV , all ComboBoxes stop showing dropdowns until I reload the grid ( or simply rebind it by moving to next page). There is a solution here which is for ToolBar but works for me too. Is there another way of  doing  this or I must make a wrapper class that inherit RadComboBox and override onPreRender like in the example for RadToolBar.

Hi Ivan Manov,

Emitting a file on the same page where a RadComboBox or a RadContextMenu are located is a well-known problem to us and, currently, we are working on it.

In the meantime, I suggest you use the following workaround: put the 'file emitting' code and only it in the Page_Load method of a new page; whenever you would like to emit the file to the user you should redirect to this new page on the client.

I have attached a sample project to illustrate the approach.

Kind regards,
Simon

Has this issue been fixed in version 2008.1.515 ?  I notced the release notes for the RadComboBox  #4 indicates "New method - setIsPostBack - public method to help avoid the problem with dropdowns not shown after direct file output."  I can't seem to find that method, and I'm not sure what I'd do with it to solve the problem.

I have several comboboxes on a page that I use to filter the contents of a radgrid.  I also have a link to export the contents of the grid.  Once I use the export to excel option the comboboxes do not show the dropdown until I expand one of the grid items.

Thanks for your help.
