Hello,
Presently I have several HTML drop-downs (<select> elements) that are populated via client-side JavaScript. I would like to convert these to Rad ComboBox controls in order to take advantage of the multi-column feature, in which I will show three columns (Category name, total sales, and market share). I was able to get a "server-side" version of a multi-column ComboBox running with the data desired.
I added "total sales" and "market share" values to the client-side objects I use for populating, and now I need to load these values dynamically via JavaScript into the multi-column RadCombo box, but I cannot determine how to do this. I tried the example where I create a comboItem using "new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItem()" and call "set_text", but this only adds a single value to the ComboBox's drop-down area, and its off to the right side (not in a column).
Please advise, thanks.

Hi Greg Harrison,
The direct way of achieving this is to insert the appropriate required HTML in the main element of each Item. As this can be a difficult task if you implement it from scratch, I suggest you use the Template mechanism of the Preview 4 of ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 (you can download only the required scripts and use them in your application).
Here is a blog post showing how to use the Template mechanism (you can abstract away from the Load On Demand / Web Service code if you do not need it).
All the best,
Simon
