Enable disabled ComboBox on client side

[Alon]

Hello,

I would like to get some help on how should I enable a combobox which has initial property Enable="false" in markup.

combo.enable(); throw an exception: Object doesn't support this property or method.

Thanks,

Alon

Hello Alon,

Try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.

function Open()
 {
       var comboBox = $find('<%=RadComboBox2.ClientID %>');
       comboBox.enable();
   }

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks Princy, but..

I allready tried that. My RadComboBox is under FormView which is under RadGrid and under View, so your exactly code can't find this object.

I use

var

 

rcbGender1 = document.getElementById(rbl.id.replace('rblIdType', 'rcbGender_Input'));
to find it (and it does). After that I use
rcbGender1.enable();

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Alon.

Hello Alon,
Telerik RadComboBox provides a client-side object of type RadComboBox . You can get a reference to the RadComboBox using
 $find("<%=name.ClientID%>");
Thanks,

Hello Princy,

The following help article explains how the RadComboBox could be found when it is embedded in another control: RadComboBox: Finding combobox on the client-side when it is embedded in another control.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks all.
It was my mistake setting wrong clientId to $find() function.

My new code is:

var

 

rcbGenderid = rbl.id.replace('$', '_'); // rbl is the argument activating this function. rbl has '$' and rcb has '_' in the clientId.

 

 

var rcbGenderid = rcbGenderid.replace('rblIdType', 'rcbGender');

 

 

var rcbGender = $find(rcbGenderid);
rcbGender.enable();

With thanks,
