I am using RAD combo box (2.8.5.0). I have set AllowCustomText="True" & MarkFirstMatch="True", but our users are requesting the ability to click and place the cursor within the selected value of the text using their mouse, in the event that they need to change the text. I can use the "End" key to go the end of the text and arrow back to navigate the text, but is there a way to place the cursor within the text itself by clicking? When I click within the selected value, the entire text is highlighted.

Here is the sample code:

web.config

<add assembly="RadComboBox.Net2, Version=2.8.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=175E9829B585F1F6"/>

Default.aspx

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>

<%@ Register assembly="RadComboBox.Net2, Version=2.8.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=175e9829b585f1f6" namespace="Telerik.WebControls" tagprefix="rad" %>

Hi Michael,

You can subscribe to OnClientDropDownOpening event and try to clear the selection in its handler:

    
            <rad:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AllowCustomText="True"   
        
                        MarkFirstMatch="True" Width="150px" OnClientDropDownOpening="dropDownOpening" >

    
            <script type="text/javascript">  
        
                function dropDownOpening(sender, args)  
        
                {     
        
                   var inputElem = document.getElementById(sender.InputID);  
        
                   var temptext = inputElem.value;  
        
                   inputElem.value = "";  
        
                   inputElem.value = temptext;  
        
                }  
        
            </script>
