Not to close dropdown when select item.

[Jose Mejia]

Hello!

Is it possible not to close dropdownlist panel when I select some items?
For example, I have smth like treeview (not true treeview, but imagine):
Master Item:
  item1
  item2
  item3 
and so on.

For now I use the following code:

if (e.Position == 1)//Master item position == 1.

{

  e.Cancel = true;

  return;

}
...

Selected text(index) doesn't change, but it would be more convinient
and elegant if dropdownlist panel won't close  if I select "Master Item:".
Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jose,

Thank you for writing.

You can control the drop down closing of RadDropDownList from the PopupClosing event of the control. If you need to cancel the closing, simply set the Cancel property from the event args to true.

I hope that you find this information helpful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
 
Kind regards,
