ComboBox SelectedIndexChanged

[JSON]

Hello,

I have a combobox in a GridTemplateColumn that is configured for LoadOnDemand. I need to subscribe to a OnSelectedIndexChanged event in Edit Mode to populate other controls when a value is selected but the event signature does not recoginize the RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs delegate I reference in the OnSelectedIndexChanged method.

I cannot determine what the issue is.

Thank you,

Steve O.

Hello,

We are not exactly sure what might be causing the issue. Please find attached a project which is working at our side.

Does it work at your side?

Hi!

Good Day!

I have almost the same issue, the event fires once an item has been selected but the SelectedIndex is always -1. I checked the number of items as well in the RadComboBox and it's zero.

Here's the event code:

Hello,

I would like to clarify that your observations are absolutely correct. If EnableAutomaticLoadOnDemand="true" when an item is selected only its text and value as plain text is send to the server. Therefore in the SelectedIndexChanged server-side event handler the RadComboBox items collection is empty and respectively the RadComboBox SelectedIndex property returns always "-1". As I mentioned earlier you could access the text and the value of the selected item as shown in the code snippet below:
//code behind

protected void ComboBoxAssetTag_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        //access the text value of the selected item
        string selectedItemText = e.Text;
        //access the value of the selected item
        string selectedItemValue = e.Value;
    }

If we assume that you have mapped the Id column of your data source as item's value the e.Value will return the Id value of the selected item in the data source.
