I have a RadComboBox in a GridTemplateColumn.  When I set the custom skin, the "Contains" filter no longer works.  I will start typing and the dropdownlist doesn't start filtering.  If I hit backspace in the text, then it filters.  If I remove my custom skin and use the default embedded skin, then the filtering works as I type.

My combobox is:
<rad:RadComboBox ID="ddlItems" runat="server" Width="250" Filter="Contains" EmptyMessage="Choose an item:" 
   DataSourceID="dsItems" DataTextField="Item" DataValueField="Id" Skin="Custom" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" AllowCustomText="true">  
</rad:RadComboBox> 

I copied the ComboBox.Office2007.css stylesheet, renamed it ComboBox.Custom.css, added a link reference to my page and then the only thing I modified was
.RadComboBox_Custom td.rcbInputCellLeft { background-position: 0 200; }  
.RadComboBox_Custom td.rcbArrowCellLeft { background-position: 0 200; }  
.RadComboBox_Custom td.rcbArrowCellRight { background-position: 0 200; } 
just to bump the images off so the ComboBox has the appearance of a label when it's not being used.  Every other style I left the same.

Any idea why the Contains filter isn't working anymore?

Hello The Wire,

Can you reproduce this with a RadComboBox outside of the Grid?

Yes, same behavior outside of the grid.  The data source is a SqlDataSource.

Hi The Wire,

I was unable to reproduce this issue with a simple RadComboBox. Can you please see the attached page and let me know if I am missing something?

Simon-

A Couple things different that I see:
1.  I made my 3 css customizations in the custom css file, not inside a style block on my aspx page.
2.  I also have a RadScriptManager and RadAjaxManager and RadAjaxLoadingPanel.
3.  I'm within the context of a SharePoint custom application page so my aspx page is using a masterpage and all my controls are in a ContentPlaceHolder

I've attached screenshots of what I have.

Thanks for your help!

Hi The Wire,

The presence of a RadScriptManager, RadAjaxManager or a RadAjaxLoadingPanel should not affect the filtering functionality as it operates solely on the client when text is being typed in the input. Additionally the location of the RadComboBox in the page control hierarchy as well as the place where the styles are defined should not matter if they load properly.

I will need to investigate this issue closely before being able to suggest you a resolution. Can you please provide me with a live URL which exhibits the issue or open a support ticket and send us a page with a single RCB (outside of a RadGrid) and the custom styles?

Best wishes,
Simon
