[Solved] Disable "OnClientItemClick" event in RadComboBox into a RadContextMenu

[Adrien C.]

Hi,

I'm using a RadComboBox bind by WebService wich is into a RadContextMenu ItemTemplate :

<telerik:RadContextMenu ID="RCMU" runat="server" ... >

<Items>

...

<telerik:RadMenuItem Value="5">

<ItemTemplate>

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="CMRDDLC" runat="server"

ShowMoreResultsBox="false" EnableVirtualScrolling="true" EnableItemCaching="true"

EnableTextSelection="true" EnableViewState="False"

EnableLoadOnDemand="true" ZIndex="10000"

OnClientItemsRequesting="OnClientItemsRequesting">

<WebServiceSettings  Path="~/.asmx" Method="GetMethod" />

<CollapseAnimation Duration="100" Type="OutQuint" />

</telerik:RadComboBox>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

...

</Items>

</telerik:RadContextMenu>

So far, everything is going well.

But when I click on an element of the RadComboBox, the DropDownList is hidden and the context menu too, and I want the menu stays open.

I've tried codes as "set_cancel(true)" to stop the click event propagation on radComboBox but nothing works, I also tried to find wich element cause the close of the contextual menu but i haven't find methods that helps, any ideas ?

Best regards

EDIT: I'm using Q1 2009 (402.35) :)

I found a simple way to correct this problem by including javascript functions on OnClientHiding of the RadContextMenu and OnClientDropDownClosed of the RadComboBox as below:

var KeepOpen=false;
function ClientHiding(sender,eventArgs){eventArgs.set_cancel(KeepOpen);KeepOpen=false;}
function ClientDropDownClosed(){KeepOpen=true;}

That's not a clean solution because the events are still raised and a little bug appears (ergonomical). If there is a way to clean this part I'm interested.
