Dropdown list opens on keypress

[Markus]

Hello!

When I enter something into the radComboBox the dropdown list automatically opens. How can I disable this behavior? The list should only when user presses the arrow for the combobox.

Thanks in advance and regards
Markus Weber

Hello Markus,

Do you use Load on demand or autocomplete features?

You can try setting the ShowDropDownOnTextboxClick property to False.

Hello Veselin,

her eis the code I use for the combobox as you can see you suggested proeprty is already set to "False". The property is working for mouse clicks well but not for "Keypress".

Hello Veselin!

Thats exactly what I need and I get it work in my project, thanks alot!

For easier handling of this behaviour a property "ShowDropDownOnTextboxClick" for the combobox would be helpful.

Hello Veselin,

In your example,

First dropdownopening event fired and then imageclick event fired. Therefore, no dropdown has shown at first click. But second click dropdown has shown.

How can i fire image click event first?

Thanks.
