Item selection client event.

[Ivy]

Hi
I cant find an event that will fire on selecting an item from the combobox apart from the selectedindexchanged which does not fire on repeatedly selecting the same item. So is it possible to fire a client event on selecting an item?

Thanks
Ivy

Hi Ivy,

By default, there is no client side item click event for the RadComboBox. You can try the following code to add click event to RadComboBox items from C# code.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Select" OnPreRender="RadComboBox1_PreRender">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Item 1" Value="1" />
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Item 2" Value="2" />
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Item 3" Value="3" />
    </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

C#:

protected void RadComboBox1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (RadComboBoxItem item in RadComboBox1.Items)
    {
        item.Attributes.Add("onclick", "ItemClick('" + item.Text + "','" + item.Value + "');");
    }
}

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function ItemClick(text, value) {
        alert("Item Clicked with Text :" + text + " Value : " + value);
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
