Multiple Combos for Address

[Trimox]

using the below code..

I select an item in the City combo and it does a SetFocus to the Zip combo. It automatically puts the first zipcode in the ZipCode.Text field. I can't seem to get this to work no matter what I've tried..It always has the previous ZipCode selection in the list

Based on a City selection I'd like to auto select a Zip if only one is available and then auto select the County and State. But I also have to allow custom text in City and Zip for Out Of State entries..

Hi Trimox,

I have tried that as well, however the e.text value is always blank on the LoadCountries().

Suggestions?

[Trimox]

I just saw that you updated the documentation for the clientdatastring related to this demo. It works great the first pass through, however if I change the Contienent it does not see a new FilterString on a 2nd attempt..

[Trimox]

I got some more issues ironed out. However on the 2nd combobox. If there are multiple selections in the list and I click any item but the 1st item and then click outside the box it resets it back to item 0.

[Rosi]

Hello Trimox,

Please see our online example illustrating multiple selection (the second RadComboBox). Could you reproduce the problem by using this demo?

Also, could you explain more about the problem for the FilterString? Could you provide us steps to reproduce or open a support ticket and send us a simple running project illustrating the problem? We will test it locally and provide you with more specific instructions.

Attached is my new code. The City dropdown is still resetting to the first item in the list if there are more then one available in the list. The others all appear to work fine.

Hi Trimox,

Your thread just breaks off without a satisfying sollution.  Was a satisfying solution found?  If so, what was the problem.  I'm curious because I am in a similar situation and have regressed away from prometheus but wouldn't mind to find out what the problem is.

Actually Telerik support found the issue after I sent a support request and example project for them.

Turns out that the value for the ZipCode dropdown had duplicates. Which was causing it to reset to the first item in the list for certain ZipCodes. The value for zipcode was the county, and some of our zip's have the same county. So what I did was made the County an attribute and made the value blank..

Below is the working code..

This is the javascript:

    <script type="text/javascript">

        function LoadZipCodes(combo, eventarqs) {

               var zipCodeCombo; var countyCombo; var stateCombo;



               if(combo.get_id() == "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radCityMail") {

                zipCodeCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radZipCodeMail");

                countyCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radCountyMail");

                stateCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radStateMail");

            } else if(combo.get_id() == "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radCityPhysical") {

                zipCodeCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radZipCodePhysical");

                countyCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radCountyPhysical");

                stateCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radStatePhysical");

            }



            var item = eventarqs.get_item();

            zipCodeCombo.clearSelection();

            countyCombo.clearSelection();

            stateCombo.clearSelection();

            zipCodeCombo.requestItems(item.get_text(), false);

        }



        function LoadCounties(combo, eventarqs) {

            var stateCombo; var countyCombo;

               if(combo.get_id() == "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radZipCodeMail") {

                countyCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radCountyMail");

                stateCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radStateMail");

            } else if(combo.get_id() == "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radZipCodePhysical") {

                countyCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radCountyPhysical");

                stateCombo = $find("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_radStatePhysical");

            }

            stateCombo.findItemByValue("DE").select();

            var item = eventarqs.get_item();

            countyCombo.findItemByValue(item.get_attributes().getAttribute("County")).select();

        }

       

        function ItemsLoaded(combo, eventarqs) {

            if (combo.get_items().get_count() > 0) {

                combo.set_text(combo.get_items().getItem(0).get_text());

                combo.get_items().getItem(0).highlight();

            }

            combo.showDropDown();

        }        

    </script>
