[Solved] RadComboBox help

[Chris Salas]

I have a RadCombo box that I am using like the Google Style type ahead and everything is working good.  Now this is what I am trying to acomplish.  I only want the OnSelectedIndexChanged event to fire if an item is selected from the dropdown, It dosent matter if it is client or server side.  Is there any way to acomplish this?

Thank you in advance,

Chris

Hi Chris Salas,

Kalina,

I understand how the SelectedIndexChanged event works.  Everything is working with that.  My question is, is there a way to only make that event occur when the user selects an Item from the dropdown?  My ComboBox allows custom text and when a user inputs a value if that value is in the dropdown then the event fires.  I want to find a way to stop that and only fire the event when an item is selected from the box.

Hi Chris Salas,

I can suggest you to handle OnClientSelectedIndexChanged event with a function of this kind:

function onSelectedIndexChanging(sender, eventArgs) {
    var domEvent = eventArgs.get_domEvent();
    eventArgs.set_cancel(domEvent.type != "click");
}

It this approach is not suitable in your case, can you send some code please?

Kind regards,
