Combobox not selecting items correctly

[CBARS]

Hi,
Im having a problem with the telerik rad combobox.

i am dynamically creating the combobox and setting the combobox's datasource to a precreated datatable.
i am planning on using the item template to display more than one value in the combobox's items.
the combobox loads correctly but when i select an item and click off the combobox it select's the first item in the list.
i also cannot select the first item in the combobox,
and the TextChanged, SelectedIndexChanged, ItemsRequested events never fire

here is some code:

Page_Load
{
TableRow tblRow;
TableCell tblCell;
Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox cmbo;

tblCell = new TableCell();
cmbo = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox();
cmbo.ID = "cmbo1";
cmbo.ItemDataBound += new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemEventHandler(cmbo_ItemDataBound);
cmbo.SelectedIndexChanged += new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventHandler(cmbo_SelectedIndexChange);
cmbo.ItemsRequested += new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventHandler(cmbo_ItemsRequested);
cmbo.TextChanged += new EventHandler(cmbo_TextChanged);

cmbo.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

cmbo.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
cmbo.DataBind();
tblCell.Controls.Add(cmbo);
tblCell.ColumnSpan = 2;
tblRow.Cells.Add(tblCell);
tbl1.Rows.Add(tblRow);
}

private void cmbo_ItemDataBound(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e)
{
            e.Item.Text = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)[1].ToString();
}


tblCell.Controls.Add(cmbo);
                                    tblCell.ColumnSpan = 2;
                                    tblRow.Cells.Add(tblCell);



any help would be appreciated,
Regards.

Hi Cbars,

I suggest you set the AutoPostBack proeprty of RadComboBox to true.

for example:
cmbo.AutoPostBack = true.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply.
i tried setting the autopost property to true, but because i am creating the controls dynamically it gives me this error:
htmlfile: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.

and i still cant select the first item in the combobox.

Hi,
i replaced my telerik dlls with the ones you gave me and re-added the reference to it, but now it comes up with this error when the page loads:

Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2008.2.826.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

thanks,
Regards.

Hi Cbars,

Perhaps you have an reference to the old version in the web.config file.

I suggest you update the reference in the web.config to match the version of the new assembly.

All the best,

Hi,
thanks i got the page to load now, i used the ones in the bin35 folder you gave me version: 2008.2.1020.35, but i still got the same problem of not being able to select the first item in the combo box. i tried with a bigger datatable to bind to the datasource but then as soon as i click off the combobox it goes back to the first item.

sorry for the trouble,
Thanks,
