RadComboBox SelectedIndexChanged event not firing when using inplace editing in a RadGrid

[Tim]

I am using inplace editing on a RadGrid that is built using a class file. Everything is working well except I am having an issue the SelectedIndexChanged event not firing when the grid is in edit mode. Any thoughts?

Column Definition:

GridDropDownColumn _ID = new GridDropDownColumn
                         {
                             DataField = "ID",
                             HeaderText = "ID",
                             UniqueName = "ID",
                             ListTextField = "ID",
                             ListValueField = "ID",
                             ListDataMember = "ID",
                             DropDownControlType = GridDropDownColumnControlType.RadComboBox,
                             HeaderStyle = { Width = Unit.Pixel(140) },
                             ItemStyle = { Width = Unit.Pixel(140) },
                             ReadOnly = false,
                             Display = true,
                         };
_reinsurerRadGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(_ID);

UserControl Code:

private void RadGrid_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

    {

        try

        {

            if ((e.Item as GridDataItem) == null) { return; }

            ((RadNumericTextBox) (e.Item as GridDataItem)["Percentage"].Controls[0]).Width = Unit.Pixel(75);

            ((TextBox) (e.Item as GridDataItem)["Code"].Controls[0]).Width = Unit.Pixel(75);

 

            RadComboBox _participantList = (e.Item as GridEditableItem)["ID"].Controls[0] as RadComboBox;

            if (null == _participantList) { return; }

 

            _participantList.Width = Unit.Pixel(120);

            _participantList.DataValueField = "ID";

            _participantList.DataTextField = "ID";

            _participantList.AutoPostBack = true;

            _participantList.DataSource = MAASBaseInterface.ParticipantAPI.GetParticipants();

            _participantList.DataBind();

            _participantList.SelectedIndexChanged += new RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventHandler(_participantList_SelectedIndexChanged);

 

            if (!(e.Item.DataItem is GridInsertionObject))

                _participantList.SelectedValue = ((Participant) (e.Item.DataItem)).ID.ToString();

            if (e.Item.DataItem is GridInsertionObject)

                _participantList.EmptyMessage = "-- Select --";

        }

        catch (Exception ex)

        {

 

            string _ex = ex.Message;

        }

    }

}

 

void _participantList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)

{

    //first reference the edited grid item through the NamingContainer attribute

    GridEditableItem editedItem = (sender as RadComboBox).NamingContainer as GridEditableItem;

    int _selectedValue = Convert.ToInt32((editedItem["ID"].Controls[0] as RadComboBox).SelectedValue);

    ParticipantList _participants = MAASBaseInterface.ParticipantAPI.GetParticipants();

    Participant _participant = _participants.Where(a => a.ID == _selectedValue) as Participant;

    RadTextBox _code = editedItem["Code"].Controls[0] as RadTextBox;

    _code.ReadOnly = false;

    _code.Text = _participant.Code;

}

Hello Tim,

Try setting AutoPostBack as true  for DropDown.

Hi Shinu, if you will look closer at the code you will see this line _participantList.AutoPostBack = true;

[Tim]

I figured it out with the help of this post. The problem was that I was only setting the Value property of the RadComboBox and not the Text property. Even though text value was showing in the RadComboBox in edit mode apparently it was displaying the Value property. As soon as it was set it started posting back just like it was supposed to do.

RadGrid_ItemCreated Method code change

if (!(e.Item.DataItem is GridInsertionObject))
{
    _participantList.SelectedValue =
        ((Participant) (e.Item.DataItem)).ID.ToString();
    // I added this line
    _participantList.Text = ((Participant)(e.Item.DataItem)).ID.ToString();
}
if (e.Item.DataItem is GridInsertionObject)
    _participantList.EmptyMessage = "-- Select --";

Hello,

I tried to reproduce the problem, but no avail. Here is the sample code that i tried which worked for me.
ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="radcombobox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" AllowCustomText="true" MarkFirstMatch="true"  AutoCompleteSeparator="," onselectedindexchanged="radcombobox1_SelectedIndexChanged"  >
 <Items>
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text=" item1" Value="" />
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item2" Value="" />
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item3" Value="" />
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item4" Value="" />
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item5" Value="" />
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item6" Value="" />
  <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item7" Value="" />
 </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Also take a look into the following documentation.
Autocomplete

Thanks,
