How to simulation OnSelectedIndexChanged WITHOUT a postback

[Sarah]

So - I understand that this version of RadControls requires AutoPostback to be set to true in order to fire OnSelectedIndexChanged.  However, this isn't always what you want.  With a 'regular' dropdown control, you might have multiple controls on a page and a save button.  The dropdown controls could have Autopostback set to false, but when the save button caused a postback - the OnSelectedIndexChanged events would fire.

What is the suggested way to simulate this behavior with RadCombo?  It isn't always practical to cause a full postback on each change of a RadCombo control.  But you obviously need to know that a change has occured when you ultimately do postback.

Thanks

Hello Sarah,

This problem is already fixed in our latest build. Please find it attached. The fix is also included in Q1 2008 release launched earlier today.

Hi,

I am evaluating version Q1.

I want to use OnSelectedIndexChanged to trigger a server-side query without using a postback. Is this possible?

Any suggestions is appreciated :)

Thanks!

Hi Kith,

I suggest you place the RadComboBox inside RadAjaxPanel.

Hi Rosi,

Thanks for the reply. I did use RadAjaxPanel, but I'm afraid it's not working on IE (especially IE6). Maybe it has some errors on javascript. I also tried the sample on the link the you gave me on IE: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet/prometheus/Ajax/Examples/Panel/FirstLook/DefaultCS.aspx
and it pops up an error as well.

Do you know why is this so?

Hi,

I'm getting "The download of the specified resource has failed" error. I'm using Multiple IEs and not the real IE6. Could it be the reason?

By the way, it works fine on IE7 now.
