Is it possible to set multiple RadComboBoxItems as selected in code behind?

[Philip Jones]

I’m using a RadComboBox where a user can select multiple items and save them against a news article.

When the user visits back I need to be able to pre-populate all of the items which were previously saved against the article.

I’m trying to work out how to set multiple items as selected, from what I can see you can only ever set one.

Something like this:

RadComboBoxItem _item1 = new RadComboBoxItem();

_item1.Value = "1";

_item1.Text = "One";

_item1.Selected = true;

RadComboBoxItem _item2 = new RadComboBoxItem();

_item2.Value = "2";

_item2.Text = "Two";

_item2.Selected = true;

RadComboBox _radComboBox = new RadComboBox();

_radComboBox.Items.Add(_item1);

_radComboBox.Items.Add(_item2);


Thank you!!

Hi,

You can use a RadCombobox with checkboxes to select multiple items. Here is the sample code which I tried.

C#:

RadComboBoxItem _item1 = new RadComboBoxItem();

_item1.Value = "1";

_item1.Text = "One";

_item1.Checked = true;

RadComboBoxItem _item2 = new RadComboBoxItem();

_item2.Value = "2";

_item2.Text = "Two";

_item2.Checked = true;

RadComboBox _radComboBox = new RadComboBox();

_radComboBox.CheckBoxes = true;
_radComboBox.Items.Add(_item1);
_radComboBox.Items.Add(_item2);

Thanks,
Princy.
