Creating Item Template in code

[Stewart]

Hi

I have a combobox that displays a longer description of the TextField when open than it displays when collapsed. I achieve this using an Item Template as below:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="cmbP9" Runat="server" DataTextField="Code" DataValueField="P9CodeID" 
                ToolTip="P9" Width="200" DropDownWidth="400px" HighlightTemplatedItems="true">
<CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>
   <ItemTemplate>
       <span>
       <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="litCode" Text='<%# Eval( "Code" )%>'></asp:Literal>
                     - 
      <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="litTitle" Text='<%# Eval( "Title" )%>'></asp:Literal>                    
       </span>
       <br />
   </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

I want to now be able to create a combobox like this entirely from code. How can I create an Item Template as above from code or is there another way of achieving the same thing?

Cheers

Hi Stewart,

Please take a look at the "Dynamic Multi-Column Template" CodeLibrary article - the approach that you can use to create templates dynamically is described in details there.
Additionally there is a  sample application that you can download.
