I am trying to set conditional RadComboBoxItem visibility using javascript: RadComboBoxItem.hide(). It will work fine without Filter="Contains" enabled on the ComboBox, but when this is turned on, the ComboBox shows the hidden items the second time it is opened. Is there any way around this.

Thanks,
Thomas

aspx:

    
            <telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="rcbTest" Filter="Contains" > 
        
                <Items> 
        
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Test1" /> 
        
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Test2" /> 
        
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Test3" /> 
        
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Test4" /> 
        
                </Items> 
        
            </telerik:RadComboBox> 
        
            <asp:CheckBox ID="cbxTest" runat="server" onclick="Test(this);" />

javascript:

    
                function Test(cbx) {  
        
                    var rcb = $find('<%=rcbTest.ClientID %>');  
        
                    var items = rcb.get_items();  
        
                    for (var i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {  
        
                        if (i != 2) {  
        
                            if(cbx.checked)  
        
                                items.getItem(i).hide();  
        
                            else  
        
                                items.getItem(i).show();  
        
                        }  
        
                    }  
        
                }

It looks like you have to expand and then click outside the ComboBox and then expand again. Clicking the drop down arrow multiple times to show and hide does not cause the same behavior.

Hello Thomas,

Filter property of the combobox actually provides client-side filtering - it hides some of the items. That's why you cannot use it in your case where you hide items manually.

Maybe if you try to disabled those hidden radcomboboxitem.

IE:

    function DisableItem()

    {       

       var combo = $find("<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");

       var comboItem = combo.get_selectedItem();

       combo.trackChanges();

       comboItem.disable();

       combo.commitChanges();

    }
