RadComboBox.Text doesn't get the input text in IE9. It works on all other browsers. The properties are set as follows;


<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RecipientCategory" runat="server" AllowCustomText="True" Filter="Contains" MarkFirstMatch="True" Width="300px"></telerik:RadComboBox>

Hello,

I have tried the same and it worked as expected. I am using version 2011, 2, 915, 35. Here is the sample code.
ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RecipientCategory" runat="server"

           DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"  DataTextField="FirstName"

           DataValueField="FirstName"   AllowCustomText="True" Filter="Contains"

           MarkFirstMatch="True" Width="300px"

           ontextchanged="RecipientCategory_TextChanged" AutoPostBack="true">
</telerik:RadComboBox>

C#:

protected void RecipientCategory_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     Label l1 = new Label();
     l1.Text = RecipientCategory.Text;
     form1.Controls.Add(l1);
 }

Thanks,
Princy.

Hello Christy,

Recently we have encountered an issue with one of the Internet Explorer updates that disturbs certain RadComboBox functionalities when MarkFirstMatch and AllowCustomText are set to true.
Could you please take a look at this online article - maybe the issue that you mention is the same as the one described there?
If this is not your case - could you please explain your implementation in more details and paste here some working code?

I want that text should be input in uppercase in rad combobox control in asp.net c#. Using AllowCustomText=true allow me to enter text into rad combobox control but i want that the text should entered in upper case. What i need to do?

Hi Nouman,

You could handle OnClientTextChange event and change the entered text:

Javascript:

function OnClientTextChange(sender, args) {
            var upperText = sender.get_text().toUpperCase()
            sender.set_text(upperText);
        }

Markup:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AllowCustomText="true" OnClientTextChange="OnClientTextChange"></telerik:RadComboBox>

Hi there

I am using Telerik Web UI version 2009.3.1503.20

The RadComboBox fails to retain the input text in IE9 when moved focus to other controls in the page, however it works fine in IE7, IE8, firefox and chrome.
I have already tried the options mentioned in the following article with no luck. Please help!

Hi Siva,

Do you experienced the same issue? It affects IE6,7,8,9. Can you clarify what is the result if you apply the suggested patch? Does it help? Paste your code here, so we can review it and inspect it thoroughly.

Note that also that the version  2009.3.1503.20 is no longer supported. I would suggest that you to upgrade your project to newer version in order to get fix for it.  

Thanks.
