Problem with selectedItem

[Jonathan]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the selectedItem from the comboBox but since I load it up with info from a string on the server side it wont do anything.
The items are there however on both the server side and client side they seem empty.

Here's the asp control:

<telerik:RadComboBox
                 ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server"
                 Width="590px" Height="140px"
                 EmptyMessage="Type something here"
                 OnItemsRequested="RadCombobox2_ItemsRequested" EnableLoadOnDemand="true"
                 >
</telerik:RadComboBox>

And the .cs

protected void RadCombobox2_ItemsRequested(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<mono.M_content.Count;i++)
        {
            if (mono.M_content[i].M_type == 0)
            {
                RadComboBox1.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem(mono.M_content[i].C_Description.ToString()));
            }
        }
    }

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        label12.Text = RadComboBox1.SelectedValue.ToString();
        //RadEditor1.Content = test;
    }

I load the ComboBox with info from a database and I have a button which is supposed to paste that info into the RadEditor but I won't do anything, I've tried all the event handlers from the ComboBox without success, I still get nothing, not even an error.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Jonathan,

The items loaded on demand are not accessible on the server. The following help article explains more on the matter: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/combobox-load-on-demand-access-items-server-side.html.

If you, however, need to set an item as selected when a set of items has been loaded from the server, you could use the OnClientItemsRequested event which is fired just after the items are fetched from the server.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your reply, while that specific script didn't solve the problem I had, the insight on the fact that you can't get the items on the server help me figure out a script that would let me do what I wanted which was to copy the selected item in the combo box to the editor.

I'll paste it here in case someone has the same problem:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
            function OnClientSelectedIndex(sender, eventArgs) {
                var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>");
                editor.pasteHtml(sender.get_text());
            }
 </script>

Cheers!
