Rad combobox , get the current text for event onclientKeypressing

[Ilyas Sapiyan]

Hi All ,

I use the radcombobox and the event onkeypressing() ,when i type text on radcombobox i can't get the current text completely  ,
Ex:
i set Loadondemand=false ( i can't use this feature bcos everything must process on Client site)
i want to get the whole text , that user has typed.
And in this event i receive 2 parameters , sender  and eventArgs

but i don't know how to get completely the text , it always miss latest characters,

Pls help me .

Hello Ilyas,

You can use the setTimeout() to achieve the same. Here is a sample code.
aspx:

  <telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlDevelopmentArea" EnableLoadOnDemand="false" OnClientKeyPressing="OnClientKeyPressing" runat="server" AllowCustomText="true" HighlightTemplatedItems="true">
   <Items>
    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text=".........ChooseText........" Value="0" />
   </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var args1;
 function OnClientKeyPressing(sender, args)
  {
        args1 = args;
        setTimeout("getValue()", 2000);
  }
function getValue()
  {
        alert(args1._domEvent.target.value);
  }
</script>
