Hi,

Here are the scenario :
1) There are 2 combo boxes : Topic and SubTopic . One topic has one-to-many subtopics.
2) The selection of the topic will determine the list of the displayed subtopics
3) RadAjax has been configured on the topic combo box so that it will trigger the topic_selectedIndexChanged event by using AJAX. the topic combo box has been configured with AutoPostBack = true
4) The AjaxSetting has been configured to this :
              <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="ddlTopic" EventName="ddlTopic_SelectedIndexChanged">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="ddlSubTopic" LoadingPanelID="LoadingPanel1" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>

Here are the issues :
1) At the "create" form scenario, when i obtained the topic and subtopic value from the UI (user interaction), this is working well.
2) At the "update" form scenario, when i need to configure the selected topic value as well as selected subtopic value, i need to manually trigger the topic_selectedIndexChanged event to prepopulate the subtopic combo box, from the server side.

One of the alternative that i have think of , which is not quite elegant is to populate the data source of the subtopic and then set the subtopic selected value.

Please let me know if my approach is not correct or any insight to my issue.

Regards,

hadi teo
