[Solved] RadComboBox initial value?

[Joshua]

I currently have this.

<

asp:DropDownList ID="ddlSupportedLangs" runat="server" Style="z-index: 108; left: 300px;

position: absolute; top: 158px"

Width="150px" DataSourceID="sdsLanguages" DataTextField="LanguageName" DataValueField="LanguageID" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlSupportedLangs_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True" CausesValidation="True" ValidationGroup="langChange" AppendDataBoundItems="True" TabIndex="2">

<asp:ListItem Text="Choose Language" />

</asp:DropDownList>

I would like to have something similar excepting using the new Q1 2008 asp.net AJAX radcombo box... I tried this...

<

telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlSupportedLangs" runat="server" Style="z-index: 108; left: 300px;

position: absolute; top: 158px"

Width="150px" DataSourceID="sdsLanguages" DataTextField="LanguageName" DataValueField="LanguageID" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlSupportedLangs_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True" ValidationGroup="langChange" AppendDataBoundItems="True" TabIndex="2">

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

<asp:ListItem Text="Choose Language" />

</telerik:RadComboBox>

and it failed. because <asp:ListItem > is not the right tag to use for a telerik:RadComboBox. Does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks,
Josh

Hello Joshua,

Please find below a sample definition of RadComboBox:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1"  runat="server" Width="210px" Skin="Black">
    <Items>

      <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="1" Value="1"/>
      <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="2" Value="2"/>
      <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="3" Value="3"/>

    </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Also, I suggest that you have a look at our online examples and our help documentation.
