Easy ?: Dropdown on Type

[James]

Hi,

This is probably an easy question.  However, I have searched the forums and documentation, and I have not yet found an answer.

Here is the goal:  I would like my RadCombobox to dropdown (if not already dropped) when the user starts typing.  

More specifics: I do have the combobox referencing itself in the RadAjaxManager, so the box drops down when the user mouses to it.  However, if they user "tabs" to it, it doesn't drop down.  So, as they type, they cannot see the results of the "search" in the dropdown.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Jim

Hello,

One suggestion is to show the dropdown on OnClientKeyPressing event.
JS:

function OnClientKeyPressing(sender, args)
 {
    sender.showDropDown();
 }

Thanks,
Princy.

Princy,

As always, thanks for the great response.

A while back, I asked how to do work with you directly, and you sent me a contact.  Is that contact still valid?  Could you resent?

Thanks,

Jim

Princy,

Thanks again for your answer.  I modified it a little bet to avoid the combo from flickering on each key press.

I did so based on this post:

Thanks again!
