Hello, Aravind,

I have prepared a sample code snippet for your reference which result is illustrated in the below screenshot: 

            RadListDataItem item1 = new RadListDataItem();
            item1.Image = Properties.Resources.ok;
            item1.Text = "Yes";

            RadListDataItem item2 = new RadListDataItem();
            item2.Image = Properties.Resources.cancel;
            item2.Text = "No"; ;
            this.radDropDownList1.Items.Add(item1);
            this.radDropDownList1.Items.Add(item2);

            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownStyle = RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;
            this.radDropDownList1.ShowImageInEditorArea = true;
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.EditableElement.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.TextBeforeImage;
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.EditableElement.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi, Aravind,

Thank you for the additional screenshots and details.

1. If you need to show an icon when no item is selected, it is appropriate to handle the SelectedIndexChanged event and set the DropDownListElement.EditableElement.Image:

        private void radDropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Position==-1)
            {
                this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.EditableElement.Image = Properties.Resources.warning;
            }
        }

Then, you can reset the Image when a real item is selected.

2. It is possible to eliminate the image in the popup items by handling the VisualListItemFormatting event: 

        private void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args)
        {
            args.VisualItem.DrawImage = false;
        }

3. If the RadListDataItem is added with specified Image property, once this item is selected (no matter if programmatically or by the UI), the respective image is expected to be shown. Please refer to the attached sample project that I have prepared for your reference.

Please give it a try and see how it works on your end.
