[Solved] Problem setting text to RadComboBox

[Dario Zanelli]

Hi all,
I have a problem using the SetText() and ClearSelection() function over a RadCombobox control, using javascript for client side execution of the code.
Probably the code explains better than words:
My controls are:

                     <td>
                            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="cmbStato" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Insert control form status..."
                                DataTextField="Description" DataValueField="Id" Filter="Contains"
                                AllowCustomText="true" DataSourceID="LinqDataSourceStato">
                            </telerik:RadComboBox>
                        </td>
                        <td width="18" style="padding-left: 5px;">
                            <asp:ImageButton ID="imgClearStatus" runat="server" AlternateText="Clear selection"
                            ImageUrl="_LAYOUTS/IMAGES/Iacopo/eliminaOn.gif" OnClientClick="ImgClearClick(this.getAttribute('id'))"
                             Width="14" Height="14"/>
                        </td>

When I click on the ImageButton I want to clear the content of the ComboBox. Here following my javascript code:

function ImgClearClick(item) {
   var combo = $find("<%= cmbStato.ClientID %>");
   //combo.disable(); //WORKS!!
   combo.SetText(''); //DOESN'T WORK
   combo.ClearSelection(); //DOESN'T WORK
   // var str = combo.GetValue(); //DOESN'T WORK
}

I also put commented tests I have done that were working or not. In particular the disable/enable funcions work properly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Regards,

Hello Dario Zanelli,

I guess you are referring the documentation for 'RadControls for ASP.NET version'. Try the following code and see whether it is working fine.

javascript:

    function ImgClearClick(item) {
        var combo = $find("<%= cmbStato.ClientID %>");
        combo.disable();
        combo.set_text('');
        combo.clearSelection();
        var str = combo.get_value();
    }

Here is the documentation for 'RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX version'.
