I'm trying to hightlight the RadComboItems with the following code:

(It is simplified to point out my problem; multiple strings "country" will be fetched from the database based on e.Text, obviously).

                    protected void cbxCountry_ItemsRequested(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e)         
            {         
                RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)o;         
                combo.Items.Clear();         
                RadComboBoxItem item = new RadComboBoxItem();         
                HtmlGenericControl span = new HtmlGenericControl();         
                string country = "Spain";         
                span.InnerHtml = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(country, e.Text, "<em>" + e.Text + "</em>");         
                item.Controls.Add(span);         
                item.Text = country;         
                combo.Items.Add(item);         
            }         
                     

It seems to work; I'm totally free in what content to put in an item, even images.

Unfortunately, it does not highlight when the mouse hovers over the item or when keydown is pressed.

Do I have to <class> attribute somewhere?
