[Solved] ComboBox's initial apperance not pleasing when disabled.

[SSirica]

I have a situation where I'd like certain controls disabled when the form 1st comes up.  The RadComboBox is coming up looking like crap.  I've included a link to a picture of what I'm talking about: Example 

I'm using the 2.8.7.0 version along with the included Vista skin.  The code to generate the 2 ComboBoxes in the picture are as following:

 

<radC:RadComboBox ID="ddlSecState" runat="server" SkinsPath="~/RadControls/ComboBox/Skins" Skin="Vista"
    Height="200px" DropDownWidth="200px" HighlightTemplatedItems="True" Width="50px"
    DataSourceID="sdsSecState" DataTextField="state_code" DataValueField="state_code"
    MarkFirstMatch="True" EnableTheming="True" Enabled="false">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <table style="width: 190px; text-align: left">
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 25px;">
                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "state_code")%>
                </td>
                <td style="width: 170px;">
                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "state_descr")%>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </ItemTemplate>
</radC:RadComboBox>

and

<radC:RadComboBox ID="ddlSecCountry" runat="server" SkinsPath="~/RadControls/ComboBox/Skins" Skin="Vista"
    Height="200px" DropDownWidth="200px" HighlightTemplatedItems="true" Width="200px"
    AutoPostBack="true" DataSourceID="sdsCountryList" DataTextField="country_name"
    DataValueField="country_list_id" HideCombo="false" AllowCustomText="false" MarkFirstMatch="true"
    SelectOnTab="false" ShowDropDownOnTextboxClick="false">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <table style="width: 190px; text-align: left">
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 100%;">
                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "country_name")%>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </ItemTemplate>
</radC:RadComboBox>

Hello,

We have been contacted about similar problem before. Could you try to fix it by adding the following javascript code on your page:

<radC:RadComboBox ID="rcbDesks" ...>
 ...
</radC:RadComboBox>

<script>
 var combo =<%=rcbDesks.ClientID%>;
 combo.FixUp(combo.InputDomElement,true);
</script>

Hi,

I have the exact same problem with disabled combo boxes And the provided solution in this forum article  returns the following error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method
on line 

 

combo.FixUp(combo.InputDomElement,

 

true); 

I might missed something. 

Thanks,
Ron

Hello Ron ,

The provided solution is for RadComboBox for ASP.NET, I guess that you're using RadComboBox for ASP.NET AJAX. Is this the case?

Hi Yana,

First of all sorry for my late response.

Hereby the definition of my combo as requested.

 

 

 

 

<td style="width: 25%">

 

 

 

    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="cmbActiviteitsoort" runat="server" Skin="Office2007" CssClass="OmschrijvingVeld"

 

 

 

        Width="199px" Height="200px" OnSelectedIndexChanged="OphalenFinAfsprakenActiviteitsoort" AutoPostBack="true"

 

 

 

        MarkFirstMatch="True" >

 

 

 

        <CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>

 

 

 

    </telerik:RadComboBox>

 

 

 

</td>

 

 

 

 

 

in my codebehind

 

protected

 

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

 

    if (!Page.IsPostBack)

 

    {

 

    

 

        if (Request.QueryString.ToString() != "" && lblNummer.Text != "")

 

        {

 

 

            cmbActiviteitsoort.Enabled =

 

false;

 

        } 
    }

 

 

    ....
    .....
  }    

 

 

 

 

I'm using Version=2008.3.1308.35 (Q3 2008) of the ASPNET Ajax controls.

Hopefully this helps you any further in providing a solution.

Thanks,
Ron

Hello Ron ,

Thank you for sending the definition of RadComboBox.

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce the described visual glitch with it. Could you please isolate the problem in a small working example and send it to us. You should open a support ticket to be able to attach files. Thanks
