RadComboBox in EditFormSettings - items not visible

[Krzysztof]

Hi

I have code like :

<telerik:RadGrid ID="GridAdvert" runat="server"  PageSize="5" OnItemDataBound="GridAdvert_ItemDataBound"    OnNeedDataSource="GridAdvert_NeedDataSource"   >

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="id"

EditMode="PopUp">

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template"   PopUpSettings-ZIndex="200">

<EditColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn1"  >

</EditColumn>

<FormTemplate>

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="findCompanyBox" runat="server" Skin="Inox"

AllowCustomText="True" ShowToggleImage="True" ShowMoreResultsBox="true"

EnableLoadOnDemand="True" EnableVirtualScrolling="true"

Width="200px" Height="200px"

Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.companyName" ) %>'

ZIndex="1000" OnItemsRequested="findCompanyBox_ItemsRequested" >

<CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" />

</telerik:RadComboBox>

 
In code behind I have :

RadComboBox FindCompanyBox = new RadComboBox();

protected void GridAdvert_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
                if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
          {
              GridEditFormItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
              FindCompanyBox = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("findCompanyBox");
          }

    }

protected void findCompanyBox_ItemsRequested(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Text.Length < 3) return;


        String ConnString =
                    "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" +
                    "Data Source=c:\\DataFile.mdb;" +
                    "User Id=admin;Password=;";
        OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(ConnString);
        DataSet simData = new DataSet();
        String query =
            "SELECT id , companyName " +
            "FROM Company  " +
            "WHERE UCASE(companyName) LIKE UCASE('%" + e.Text + "%') " +
            "ORDER BY id ";
        OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, conn);
        OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command);
        conn.Open();
        adapter.Fill(simData, "Company");
        conn.Close();

        DataTable data = new DataTable();
        data = simData.Tables[0];

        int ile = data.Rows.Count;

        try
        {

            int itemsPerRequest = 10;
            int itemOffset = e.NumberOfItems;
            int endOffset = itemOffset + itemsPerRequest;
            if (endOffset > data.Rows.Count)
            {
                endOffset = data.Rows.Count;
            }
            if (endOffset == data.Rows.Count)
            {
                e.EndOfItems = true;
            }
            else
            {
                e.EndOfItems = false;
            }


            for (int i = itemOffset; i < endOffset; i++)
            {
                RadComboBoxItem boxItem =
                    new RadComboBoxItem(data.Rows[i]["companyName"].ToString(), data.Rows[i]["companyName"].ToString());
                boxItem.Font.Size = FontUnit.Point(8);
                FindCompanyBox.Items.Add(boxItem);

            }

            if (data.Rows.Count > 0)
            {
                e.Message = String.Format("Items <b>1</b>-<b>{0}</b> out of <b>{1}</b>", endOffset.ToString(), data.Rows.Count.ToString());
            }
            else
            {
                e.Message = "No matches";
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            e.Message = "No matches";
        }

    }

And the problem is :

If I mach data from database to RadComboBox, the lines witch data disapear after loaded.
If I move RadComboBox outside of RadGrid and insted of :

GridEditFormItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;

FindCompanyBox = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("findCompanyBox");

I call simply :
  findCompanyBox.Items.Add(boxItem);
without finding component, everything work well .

Where is the solution ??

Hello Krzysztof,

Could you please try changing your code as below and let me know if it makes any difference:

protected void findCompanyBox_ItemsRequested(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e)
{
    RadComboBox FindCompanyBox = o as RadComboBox;
    if (e.Text.Length < 3) return;

    String ConnString =
                "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" +
                "Data Source=c:\\DataFile.mdb;" +
                "User Id=admin;Password=;";
    OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(ConnString);
    DataSet simData = new DataSet();
    String query =
        "SELECT id , companyName " +
        "FROM Company  " +
        "WHERE UCASE(companyName) LIKE UCASE('%" + e.Text + "%') " +
        "ORDER BY id ";
    OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, conn);
    OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command);
    conn.Open();
    adapter.Fill(simData, "Company");
    conn.Close();

    DataTable data = new DataTable();
    data = simData.Tables[0];

    int ile = data.Rows.Count;

    try
    {

        int itemsPerRequest = 10;
        int itemOffset = e.NumberOfItems;
        int endOffset = itemOffset + itemsPerRequest;
        if (endOffset > data.Rows.Count)
        {
            endOffset = data.Rows.Count;
        }
        if (endOffset == data.Rows.Count)
        {
            e.EndOfItems = true;
        }
        else
        {
            e.EndOfItems = false;
        }


        for (int i = itemOffset; i < endOffset; i++)
        {
            RadComboBoxItem boxItem =
                new RadComboBoxItem(data.Rows[i]["companyName"].ToString(), data.Rows[i]["companyName"].ToString());
            boxItem.Font.Size = FontUnit.Point(8);
            FindCompanyBox.Items.Add(boxItem);

        }

        if (data.Rows.Count > 0)
        {
            e.Message = String.Format("Items <b>1</b>-<b>{0}</b> out of <b>{1}</b>", endOffset.ToString(), data.Rows.Count.ToString());
        }
        else
        {
            e.Message = "No matches";
        }
    }
    catch
    {
        e.Message = "No matches";
    }
}

Hi

Thank You for responce.
This code help a little bit. RadComboBox show lines with data. But if count of data records are less then empty spaces in control, I have transparent whole in ComboBox below lines witch data. It look bad. When lines of data are more then spaces in ComboBox, everything work well.

Could You fix this problem ??

Hi

I found the reason of my problems.
In simple code below under 3 items, I get transparent space.
If I change skin for "Gray" or ather one everything work well.

I thing, that the problem is in "Inox" style for RadComboBox.

<body style="background-color:Yellow;"> ...... <telerik:RadComboBox ID="combo2" runat="server" Skin="Inox"

AllowCustomText="True" ShowToggleImage="True" ShowMoreResultsBox="false"

EnableLoadOnDemand="True" EnableVirtualScrolling="true"

Width="230px" Height="200px"

ZIndex="10000" AccessibilityMode="True"

>

<CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" />

<Items>

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item 1" Value="1" runat="server" />

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item 2" Value="2" runat="server" />

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item 3" Value="3" runat="server" />

</Items>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

Regards
Krzysztof

Hello Krzysztof,

Can you try removing the Height property setting of the combobox and let me know if this works for you:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="combo2" runat="server" Skin="Vista" AllowCustomText="True"
    ShowToggleImage="True" ShowMoreResultsBox="false" EnableLoadOnDemand="True" EnableVirtualScrolling="true"
    Width="230px" ZIndex="10000" AccessibilityMode="True">
    <CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" />
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item 1" Value="1" runat="server" />
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item 2" Value="2" runat="server" />
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item 3" Value="3" runat="server" />
    </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

All the best,

Hi

It work well (without Height property) but ...

I would like to have comboBox with static height (not depent from number of items). I can see diference betwen "inox" and "gray" skin. In "Inox" I have transparent rectangle under last itam, in Gray I have colored background (not transparent) rectangle under last item. I thing, in "Inox" skin comboBox show itself wrong.

Hi Krzysztof,

Please add the following css style to your page  in order to fix this issue:

<style type="text/css">
    div.RadComboBoxDropDown_Inox .rcbScroll {
      background:#EFEFEF url(bg.jpeg) repeat scroll 0 0;
    }
</style>

The used image is attached to the ticket.
