"Main" template

[Peter Zolja]

There is an ItemTemplate, HeaderTemplate, FooterTemplate, but all these deal with the dropdown. How can I customize what is shown in the actual input box. Each item can have an image, I would like to show this image even when nothing is dropped down, similar to how the new button works on this page: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/ToolBar/Examples/Functionality/FirstLook/DefaultCS.aspx but with a RadComboBox.

Thanks.

Hi Peter Zolja,

RadComboBox does not support this feature. You cannot customize the input element of the control.

Any suggestions as to how I could achieve something close to that? Here's what I'm looking for:

1) Display an image with text beside it

2) When the user clicks on the image and text I would like to show a menu (like the one in the toolbar example) and let the user make a selection. I need to be able to allow the user to click either the image or the text; I can't have a tiny down arrow that they'd have to aim, like in the ToolBar example.

3) If the user changed the selection the image and text from #1 should change.

I could go about making a simple div with image and text and when the user clicks show a drop down menu, but if there's an easier way I'm all ears. Thanks.

Hi Peter Zolja,

Please check the following support resources:

• Using WaterMark with RadComboBox

I hope these will get you started.
