contains problem

[Frank]

Hi,.

I am about to update an application to use the Radlistbox, where I currently use the ASP.NET Listbox.
I have 2 listboxes, where the 1st contains values, that can be transferred to the 2nd.
- BUT the 2nd has already some preselected, and if the values are in the 2nd listbox, they should NOT be in the 1st Listbox.

VERY simple, and no problem when I use the classic listboxes.
But how is this done in Radlistboxes?

This is quite simple, but I couldn't find the answer in this forum.

See my example script:

HTML:

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div>

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" Runat="server">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

hello</div>

<div class="radtxt">

<div style="float: left;">

<div>

All Websites:</div>

<telerik:RadListBox ID="listWebsites" runat="server" Width="180px"

Height="200px" TransferToID="listSelectedwebsites"

Skin="Telerik" />

</div>

<div style="float: left;">

<div style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: center;">

<asp:Button ID="btnTransferright" CssClass="specialbuttons" OnClientClick="return transferRight()"

Text="Add >>" runat="server" />

</div>

<div>

<asp:Button ID="btnTransferleft" CssClass="specialbuttons" OnClientClick="return transferLeft()"

Text="<< Remove" runat="server" />

</div>

</div>

<div style="float: left;">

<div>

Selected Website(s):</div>

<telerik:RadListBox ID="listSelectedwebsites" runat="server" Width="180" Height="200px"

Skin="Telerik" />

</div>

</div>

</form>

And the VB-script:

 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Add(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem1", 1))
        'Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Add(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem2", 2))
        Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Add(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem3", 3))

        If Not Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Contains(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem1", 1)) Then
            Me.listWebsites.Items.Add(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem11", 11))
        End If

        If Not Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Contains(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem2", 2)) Then
            Me.listWebsites.Items.Add(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem22", 22))
        End If

        If Not Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Contains(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem3", 3)) Then
            Me.listWebsites.Items.Add(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem33", 33))
        End If

    End Sub

This VB dos not work:
If Not Me.listSelectedwebsites.Items.Contains(New RadListBoxItem("RadListBoxItem1", 1)) Then
- I want to check if the value is in the 2nd listbox - if not I put it in the 1st listbox.

But I have no luck.

Hope someone can help?

Thanks.

Hello Frank,

I suggest you to use the FindItem method of the RadListBox to find whether it contains a given item or not. In your case, this would result to:

        If RadListBox1.FindItem(Function(a As RadListBoxItem) a.Text = "RadListBoxItem1" And a.Value = 1) IsNot Nothing Then
            Lbl1.Text = "contains"
        End If

Unfortunately, the contains method does not work with Items created with new because they are not quite the same as the items currently in the listbox.
