Radcombobox to raddropdown issue

[Venkat]

Hello,

  Is there a way to get multiline text in the dropdownlist just like the radcombobox in the previous version? We are using the radcombobox in our project and we are testing the latest version on our project. I could not see how to do multiline text in the raddropdownlist. Please suggest me how to implement multiline text in raddropdownlist.

Thanks,
Ajay

Can anyone look into this post and suggest me as early as possible please. We need to determine if we need to go ahead with the latest version on rad controls.

Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay, 

This should work for you. 
Richard

Me.RadComboBox1.Items.Clear()
Me.RadComboBox1.Text = "Choose an item"
Me.RadComboBox1.Items.Add(New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadComboBoxItem("Some Text " & Environment.NewLine & "goes here"))
Me.RadComboBox1.Items.Add(New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadComboBoxItem("More Text " & Environment.NewLine & "goes here"))
Me.RadComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0

Hello Richard,

  Thanks for replying. I have implemented the multiline text in combobox but i wanted to implement multiline text in the dropdownlist as the combobox is marked as obselete in the latest version of telerik controls. We are using the latest version of the Telerik rad controls and i need to somehow make the dropdown list look identical to the combobox we were using(combobox with short and long description).
I hope they might have came across this scenario when upgrading to dropdownlist.

Thanks,
Ajay.

Ah, apologies. Still using the older version for the next couple of months.

Hi all,

Thanks for writing.

Yesterday we released an internal build (v2010.2.10.825) where there is e TextWrap property exposed at RadListDataItem.

As an alternative, you can subscribe to the VisualItemFormatting event and manually set Visual Item's TextWrap property to true.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,
Peter
