[Solved] Down Arrow in RadComboBox KeyDown

[Carl Rippon]

The down arrow key does not seem to be detected in the KeyDown event of the RadComboBox. However, the down arrow key is picked up the KeyUp event.

Is this a bug or expected behaviour? Is there a work around so that I can get the down arrow key being picked up in the KeyDown event?

Hi Carl,

We handle KeyDown event in the RadComboBox control. I would suggest you to use AddHandler in order to handle the KeyDown event. For example:

this.radComboBox.AddHandler(KeyDownEvent, new KeyEventHandler(radComboBox_KeyDown), true);

 
I hope this helps.

Hi George

I have been experiencing a very tiffy issue with radcombobox. I want to invoke a server side event from radcombobox when i enter any text under radcombobox control. Suppose if i enter any text such as "George" etc under radcomboxbox immediately george details such as company, phone and other variables should appear under the radcombobox like a dropdown.

Could you please let us know the client side or server side events other than text_changed or selected index changed events. I have already tried this when I enter name under radcombobox and click mouse outside radcombobox the events text-changed and selected index changed events fire. 

My client is really complaining about this problem so I have to solve the solution as soon as possible. Could you please help me and mail me to [e-mail]

Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

The Silverlight runs only on the client side and RadComboBox control has no events that fire on server side as well. I would suggest referring to our new RadAutoCompleteBox control which could suit your needs:

    1. Documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radautocompletebox-overview.html
    2. Online demos - http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#AutoCompleteBox/FirstLook

Hope this helps.
