    I have created a custrom combobox with checkboxes in codebehind, as detailed in my blog post here:

    http://andrewwhitten.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/multiple-select-telerik-radcombobox-in-code-behind/

    This works well, but I can't seem to apply the correct Javascript in order to prevent the RadComboBox closing directly after a checkbox has been clicked.

    Can anyone tell me how to use Javascript to achieve this? (something like the Telerik StopPropagation() example)

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hello Andrew,

    Have you tried attaching 'OnClientDropDownClosing' To RadComboBox? Cancel the event using args.set_cancel(true) method if clicked on checkbox, otherwise do not execute the code args.set_cancel(true), which in turn closes the dropdown.

    Thanks,
    Princy.

    Thanks Princy!

    Here is the exact script I ended up using (based on your advice)

    function OnClientDropDownClosing(sender, eventArgs) { if( eventArgs.get_domEvent().type == 'click' ) { eventArgs.set_cancel(true);  } }

    It seems to work for me, since all mouse clicks outside of the combobox have the DOM event of 'mousedown'.

    Hi Princy

    I am having similar problem. I have a tree in a RadCombox and that tree is loading on demand. when I click on a node, combobox is closing. For loading the tree I am using code-behind. How can I make ComboBox remain open untill I make my selction ? That StopPropagation  is not working for me.

    Please help,
    Smiely
