Hi Dhamodaran

When the user clicks on the combobox control the selection in the editor's content area is lost. The code below demonstrates how to make all comboboxes' items unselectable to prevent selection lost in RadEditor's content area. 
In addition the getSelectedItemValue function is attached to the OnClientSelectedIndexChanged event of RadCombobox and pastes the selected item value at cursor position in the editor when the user selects a combobox item:
Try the following code snippet and let me know your concern.
aspx:

<telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" Content="test mest"></telerik:radeditor>
<div style="padding: 15px 0 0 0;font-family:Arial;font-size:14px;">
    RadComboBox with static items:
    <telerik:RadComboBox OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="getSelectedItemValue" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadCombobox1" runat="server">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item1" Value="<strong>Item 1</strong>" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item2" Value="<strong>Item 2</strong>" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item3" Value="<strong>Item 3</strong>" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>
</div>
<div style="padding: 15px 0 0 0;font-family:Arial;font-size:14px;">
    RadComboBox with Load-On-Demand:
    <telerik:RadComboBox OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="getSelectedItemValue" OnClientItemsRequested="OnClientItemsRequested" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadCombobox2" runat="server"
        OnItemsRequested="RadCombobox2_ItemsRequested" EnableLoadOnDemand="true"></telerik:RadComboBox>
</div>

C#:

using Telerik.Web.UI;

protected void RadCombobox2_ItemsRequested(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e)
{
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            RadCombobox2.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem("Item" + i.ToString(), "<strong>Item " + i.ToString() + "</strong>"));
        }
}

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientLoad(combobox, args)
{
    makeUnselectable(combobox.get_element());
}

function OnClientItemsRequested(combobox, args)
{
    $telerik.$("*", combobox.get_dropDownElement()).attr("unselectable", "on");
}

//Make all combobox items unselectable to prevent selection in editor being lost
function makeUnselectable(element)
{
    $telerik.$("*", element).attr("unselectable", "on");
}

function getSelectedItemValue(combobox, args)
{
  var value = combobox.get_value();
  //alert("The selected combobox value is: " + value);
  //get a reference to RadEditor client object
  //and paste the selected combobox item content in it
  var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
  editor.pasteHtml(value);
}
</script>

Thanks

Hi Princy,
                        I am using the Same code -  editor.pasteHtml(value) . Its works good, content is pasted on the top of the Existing content. I want the content to paste on the Cursor point.

Thanks

Hi Dhamodharan

Take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article of Telerik which explains your same issue for more information and let me know your concern.
Pasting content from RadComboBox item in RadEditor at cursor position

Thanks

Hi Princy,

  Your both  code works. I have done the mistake in calling the  OnClientItemsRequested function in the ClientItemsRequesting event. Now it works perfectly

 



Thanks

Hi Princy,

Following this thread we achieved having the RadComboBox visible with its items. Now we want people to have the ability to type into it to find their item quicker. We set the HighlightTemplatedItems="true" and Filter="Contains".

Problem now is you can’t select the item to start typing. You can press delete to remove the current selected item and start typing, but then it inserts the selected item again at the beginning of the RadEditor.

Any idea how to solve this so users can use the type-option and search within the RadComboBox ?

Yours,
Frank.
