Rad ComboBox focus

[vipin]

Hi sir,

 

I have used a rad combobox for listing states, I have set data source and AllowCustomText="true". When focus on the combobox then listed all items, I wants the items are listed only after enter a text in the rad combobox (drop down disabled on focus) .  eg:- if user enter ‘a’ then first letter of the sate will appear in the list.

Hi Vipin,

Could you please provide the implementation of your RadComboBox so I could have a better view of the exact scenario that you are trying to implement.

Kind regards,

I have the same issue: Is it possible to let the ComboBox act like a Textbox so that:

• No dropdown on focus;
• Dropdown after some characters are putted in the box;
• hide the dropdown arrow.

BR,

Hello,

Try setting ShowToggleImage property of RadComboBox as false to hide the dropdown arrow.
Also try the following javascript to achieve the scenario.
JS:

function OnClientDropDownOpening(sender, args)
{
  if (sender.get_text() == "")
  {
     args.set_cancel(true); //hide dropdown on focus
  }
}
function OnClientKeyPressing(sender, args)
{
    sender.showDropDown();//show dropdown after entering some characters
}

Thanks,
Princy.
