RadComboBox loadondemand resets position when data is fetched.

[Leon]

Hi.

As stated in the title, the position keeps resetting to the 1st element in the combobox as soon as new data is added to the combobox.  Below is the itemrequested code I use.

Protected Sub cboInstrument_ItemsRequested(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs)
    Try
        Dim oSender As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox = DirectCast(sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox)
        oSender.DataValueField = "Name"
        oSender.DataTextField = "Name"
        Dim data As List(Of Instrument)
        If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ExchangeComboBox.SelectedValue) Then
            data = GetData(ExchangeComboBox.SelectedValue, e.Text, False)
            Dim itemOffset As Integer = e.NumberOfItems
            Dim endOffset As Integer = Math.Min(itemOffset + ItemsPerRequest, data.Count)
            'e.EndOfItems = endOffset = IIf(data.Count = 1, 0, data.Count)
            e.EndOfItems = endOffset = data.Count
            For i As Integer = itemOffset To endOffset - 1
                oSender.Items.Add(New RadComboBoxItem(String.Format("{0} - {1}", data(i).Symbol, data(i).Name), data(i).ExchangeSymbolKey))
            Next
            e.Message = GetStatusMessage(endOffset, data.Count)
        Else
            Dim endOffset As Integer = 0
            oSender.Items.Add(New RadComboBoxItem("Select an Exchange", Nothing))
            e.Message = GetStatusMessage(endOffset, 0)
        End If
    Catch exc As Exception
        ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)
    End Try
End Sub

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Leon,

In order to assist you in the most efficient way I would kindly suggest you to open a new support ticket and provide us with a simple runnable project which we can inspect and debug.
Could you please check if you get any JavaScript errors in your browser developer tool?
As far as I can see, you set an Integer value to EndOfItems property, but it should be a Boolean value.
Please check the example in this help article in order to see how you can modify the code part with calculating endOffset and setting EndOfItems.
You could also view the source of our RadComboBox LoadOnDemand online demos.

Solved.

Turns out the "selectFirstMatch" option moved it to the top of the list if you filter the list.
