[Solved] DropDown Popup Width in Modal Window

[Adam Gritt]

We are using the Window control to display a modal window.  In the window there is a DropDownList but for some reason the DropDownList is not utilizing the DropDownHtmlAttributes properly where we set the width of the Popup to be wider than the DropDown box itself.  It works fine if the window is not Modal but if the window is Model then the popup only renders to the same width as the DropDown itself.  I found that a work-around for this is to also set the "min-width" to match the "width" property.  I just wanted to know if this is a bug and if I should submit a ticket for it?

EDIT: Also I am using the 2010.2.825 release.

Hello Adam,

Unfortunately I could not reproduce the depicted issue. I have attached a screencast, which shows smooth work of the component. Let me know if I am missing something.

I ran the same test as you did and did get the same results.  However, when I then modified it to how we use the window I found the problem.  If the window starts initially with a setting of ".Visible(false)" and then you hook up a button click that does the following javascript:
function showWindow() {
$('#MyLovelyWindow').data('tWindow').open();
}

When the window opens this way the drop down doesn't match the specified width.  Let me know if you can reproduce it that way.  Incidently, I did test this in both Chrome 6.0 and IE 8 and got the same results.

Hello Adam,

This is the promised follow up.

We were able to fix the aforementioned issue. I have attached the telerik.list.js, telerik.combobox.js, telerik.autocomplete.js files and their minified version.

You just need to replace those files with these attached to this message.
