[Solved] Maintaining Disabled State of a RadComboBox

[PRIYA]

Hi,

I am using a radcombobox, where I set it as disabled using javascript functions such as
radcombobox1.disable()
or
radcombobox1.set_enabled(false)
But the combobox gets enabled once the page gets refreshed.
How can the viewstate of the combobox be maintained?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Priya,

This is an expected behavior since the changes made on the client side will be lost on a postback or Page refresh. One another suggestion will be to store the state of the combobox in a cookie on the client side. Then in the client Load event of the Radcombobox access the value from the cookie and disable the Combobox accordingly.

You can also refer the following link which explains how to save, read and erase cookies on the client side.

Hi PRIYA,

Actually this happened to be a bug in the RadComboBox. The good news are that we have successfully fixed it. You use the fixed version of RadCombo forth from the tomorrow's internal build. I have also updated your Telerik points for pointing the issue to us.
