Listbox - Error in Type Requirements for Items.Add()

[Pawz]

In the rad list box, the Items.Add() function requires a variable of the type 'RadItem'. However, the following code crashes, with a 'Cannot convert RadItem to RadListBoxItem' error:

            foreach(string s in args)
            {
                RadItem item = new RadItem ();
                item.Text = s;
                radListBox1.Items.Add(item);
            }

Changing it to a RadListBoxItem instead of the standard RadItem works.

Just something to add to your todo list :)

Hi Pawz,

Thank you for pointing this out for us. Indeed, adding anything but RadListBoxItem in the RadListBox.Items collection caused throwing such exception. We have already added refactored RadListBox (and respectively RadComboBox) to be capable of adding any descendants if RadItem. We will introduce this behavior in the upcoming Q3 2007 Service pack version, scheduled next week. Note that you will still not be able to add RadItem instances as this is a base class. Instead you should use descendants of this class.

Feel free to contact us if you have other questions.
