I have the lastest edition of Radcontrols installed here. However I am developing for Sitefinity 3.7 SP1. I place a Radcombo box into a user control and populated the control using linqtosql. Then added a search button to search the database.

    
            <asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource2" runat="server"   
        
                ContextTypeName="Offices.BillingDataClassesDataContext" OrderBy="Name"   
        
                TableName="sc_Tribunals" Select="Distinct">  
        
            </asp:LinqDataSource> 
        
            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbSearchBox" Runat="server"   
        
                DataSourceID="LinqDataSource2" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="OfficeId"   
        
                MarkFirstMatch="True" AllowCustomText="True">  
        
            </telerik:RadComboBox> 
        
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click"   
        
                Text="Search By City" />

The RadComboxBox appears work find with small amount of items lets say 10 items loaded. The OfficeId value type is a GUID, and the DataTextField is a just a string contain city names.

If I select an item near the bottom of the dropdown then click anywhere on the page, the selected item drops and the RadCombo box selects an item near the top of the list. I found this to be the case with the lastest version of Firefox and IE8/7.

Am I missing something.

Thanks for getting back with me. I ended up just loading the Office Name into the Combo box and dropping the OfficeID.
My solution was to load the combo on form load. I loaded my Office Name into a list and check for duplicates then biinded the list to the control

When I get caught up here I will go back try using GUID again with this approach to see if if happens again. I think the OfficeId(Guid) should be a unique value since it is my primary key in the database table.

I did have a layout problem with IE8 where the combo box would run under the command button next to it. My work around for that was just set up a table with two columns.

Thanks for the reply, I will did dig in to this when I get caught up and let you know if I find anything.   I really do like the RadCombo box, this was the first time I had use for it.

We've got the same issue, for some of our RadComboBoxes. In Firefox, once you leave these boxes, automatically some other item, mostly the last item is selected. Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this issue in a separate project. Even if I don't use the value property (like David suggested) the same problem occurs. I noticed that it only occurs for the combo boxes which contain items with text and spaces. Some other Boxes which only contain numbers work fine.

Could you maybe give me some hints how to debug this problem? I am using FireBug, and was inspecting this issue, I tried to set some break points but they were not passed. Do you have any ideas where I should set a break point to check what's going on, or which values to check?

Thanks, but unfortunately, that didn't do the trick.

I *did* notice, however, that the selection changes ONLY when a non-unique first word value is selected. For example, if I load the following into a combo box:

Search 1
Search 2
Search 3
Object Type
Object Form
Created By
Creation Date
Creation Time

and select Search 2 or Search 3, when I click anywhere outside the combo box, Search 1 gets selected. If I select Object Form, Object Type is selected and when I select Creation Time, Creation Date is selected.

It appears this has to do with the first word in the list vs. anything else. Is there a setting I'm missing? Here's the code for the combo box declaration:

    
            <telerik:RadComboBox  
        
               ID="cboKeywordFields"  
        
               EnableLoadOnDemand="true"  
        
               OnChange="MakeDirty()"  
        
               runat="server"  
        
               Width="300" />

Hi Balageetha,

I guess you want to select an Item from RadComboBox on blur. Please check the below sample code snippet which works fine at my end. Please elaborate your requirement if it doesn't help.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">

<AjaxSettings>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="rcboTestItems">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rcboTestItems" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

</AjaxSettings>

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcboTestItems" runat="server" EmptyMessage="select" OnClientBlur="selectItem">

<Items>

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item1" Value="1" />

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item2" Value="2" />

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item3" Value="3" />

</Items>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">

function selectItem(sender, args) {

sender.findItemByValue("2").select();

}

</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi shinu,
Thanks for your reply.

I didn't get the solution.I am using a RadCombobox inside a Rad List View which is ajaxified and contains a Item Template and EditItem Template.

The Rad combobox is within the Edit Item Template
.aspx
=====
<rad:RadComboBox ID="ddlStatus" runat="server" Width="100px" DropDownWidth="200"
AppendDataBoundItems="true">
<Items>
<rad:RadComboBoxItem Text="None" Value="0" />
</Items>
</rad:RadComboBox>

i am binding this combo box in the server side in the RadListView_ItemCreated event as follows,
.aspx.cs
=======

protected void RadListView_ItemCreated(object sender, RadListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == RadListViewItemType.EditItem)
{

RadListViewDataItem item = e.Item as RadListViewDataItem;
string ChecklistHeaderId = item.GetDataKeyValue("ChecklistHeaderId").ToString();
string InspectionChecklistItemID = item.GetDataKeyValue("InspectionChecklistItemID").ToString();
string checklistItemStatus = item.GetDataKeyValue("checklistItemStatus").ToString();
RadDropDownList statusCombo = (RadDropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlStatus");
statusCombo.DataSource = MOCAdministration_BLL.FetchChecklistStatusItemByChecklistHeaderID(iProcess.Util.IProConvert.toInt32(ChecklistHeaderId));
statusCombo.DataValueField = "ChecklistStatusHeaderID";
statusCombo.DataTextField = "StatusDesc";
//statusCombo.DataBind();
// statusCombo.Items.Insert(0, new RadComboBoxItem("None", "0"));
if (statusCombo.Items.Count > 0)
statusCombo.SelectedValue = checklistItemStatus != null ? checklistItemStatus : "0";
}
}
