Multi-Column--Get Column Value From Selected Row

[Velma]

(1) In a multi-column RadCombo, is there some way to get a value from the selected row (which is not the SelectedValue and not the SelectedText)? Client-side preferred.

(2) In a multi-column RadCombo, is there some way to get the input area to display in columns matching the dropdown?

Hello Velma,

You should consider using custom attributes -- for more information you could refer to our online documentation: [http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/combobox-custom-attributes.html].

Also, I have prepared a sample project showing how to use and access custom attributes on the client.

I hope this would help.

Thanks very much. I will try it. Any thoughts on the second question?:

Hi Velma,

If I understand your question right, you want to display the text of all columns of a specific row (the selected one), in the input area. If this is your question, then this is shown in the sample page I have provided in my previous post:

protected void OnItemDataBound(object sender, RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e){

        DataRowView dataSourceRow = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
        e.Item.Text =  dataSourceRow["ProductName"].ToString() + " + " + dataSourceRow["Manufacturer"].ToString()
            + " + " + dataSourceRow["Price"].ToString();

        e.Item.Attributes["customAttribute1"] = dataSourceRow["ProductName"].ToString();
        e.Item.Attributes["customAttribute2"] = dataSourceRow["Manufacturer"].ToString();
        e.Item.Attributes["customAttribute3"] = dataSourceRow["Price"].ToString();
        e.Item.DataBind();
    }

If not, I will need a little more details about the scenario you want to achieve -- it will be very helpful if you can provide us with a sample page or images explaining your scenario.

Hi there,

I have similar question on how to Get Column Value From Selected Row. I'm working in Telerik UI for WinForms.

like for instance I have 2 columns display on RadMultiColumnCombo Name and ID. want to store ID second column on selected item.

Hope you got my question. can you please post a sample code on this.

where and what code should i write to get second column data..?

 Private Sub RadCombo2_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadCombo2.SelectedIndexChanged
        ' MsgBox(RadCombo2.SelectedValue)

  End Sub

 

Attached file is my code FYI.

Hello Athiq,

This thread is for the RadComboBox for ASP.NET AJAX, while your question is for RadMultiColumnCombo for WinForms. That is why I would like to ask you to open (in the corresponding forums section) new threads for questions that are not related to the thread's original topic and scenario. Thus we can keep the threads concise and easy to track, if needed. Also you would get a better support service.
