Radcombobox CustomEdit Entered Text Not Returned

[David Gray]

I have a radcombobox control bound to XML list of listitems with customEdit=True. When custom text is entered to control it is persisted to database but does not show in control when page is reloaded. Control works fine if I pick an item in the xml list but not when custom text is entered. Checked out control properties but did not see anything that looked likely. Greatly appreciate your time and consideration.

Hi David Gray,

Could you clarify what do you mean by the 'customEdit' property? Is it AllowCustomText?

If so, the following setup works properly:

<div>
    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AllowCustomText="true">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="1" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
</div>

i.e. after postback the text in the RadComboBox remains even if there is not an Item that matches it.

Can you please provide more info about your implementation, for instance the definition of your RCB and the way you bind it to the XML data source?

Sincerely yours,
Simon

Simon - thanks for your reply on this event. The RCB was fine and te problem was in my code where I was loading the control. All is good now and working great!

Thanks again,

Dave
