Issues caused by updated version

[A]

Using an older version of telerik, we have a control formed like so:

[code]
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlField" Visible="false" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"
    Height="20px" Width="126px" AppendDataBoundItems="True" DataSourceID="FieldLookupDS"
    DataTextField="FieldName" DataValueField="FieldPk" CausesValidation="True">
</asp:DropDownList>
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="radCbField" DataSourceID="FieldLookupDS"
    DataTextField="FieldName" DataValueField="FieldPk" Width="130px" AllowCustomText="true"
    Text="Select">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="cbField" AutoPostBack="true" Text='<%#Eval("FieldName")%>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>
[/code]

Without change, the old version of the telerik controls allow us to select multiple items in a drop down list with checkboxes, while the default option field remains in place. After updating to a newer version of telerik, clicking on the checkboxes themselves maintains he same effect, but clicking on the label makes that label appear in the option field instead of the desired default prompt. This has been verified by simply switching the versions we are using. 

Is there any guidance on how to re-implement this functionality in newer versions?

Hello,

If I understand correctly what you are trying to achieve, you want the ComboBox not to show the selected item's text in its input, instead to show "Select". You can do that by subscribing to the OnClientSelectedIndexChanged the event and in its handler set the ComboBox' Text with the set_text() method:

<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="radCbField" DataSourceID="FieldLookupDS"
    DataTextField="FieldName" DataValueField="FieldPk" Width="130px" AllowCustomText="true"
    Text="Select" OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="OnClientSelectedIndexChanged">

function OnClientSelectedIndexChanged(sender, args) {
    sender.set_text("Select");
}
