RadComboBoxItem not detecting selected checkboxes in checkbox template

[darenkov]

Hello,

I have a RadComboBox with a multi-checkbox setup. It is working fine but when try loop through the items and see if anything has been selected it is showing FALSE even when I have definitely selected some items.

My code is as follows:

foreach (RadComboBoxItem rcbi in cmbAccessories.Items)
{
     if (rcbi.Selected)
     {
         //insert value in database
     }
}

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="cmbAccessories" Width="200px"
                                OnClientDropDownOpening="OnClientDropDownOpening"
                                EmptyMessage="...Select Accessories"
                                OnClientDropDownClosing="OnClientDropDownClosing"
                                OnClientSelectedIndexChanging="OnClientSelectedIndexChanging"
                                OnClientBlur="OnClientBlur" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="AccessoryID"
                                ValidationGroup="valItem" HighlightTemplatedItems="false"
                                AllowCustomText="True" Runat="server" ShowDropDownOnTextboxClick="False"
                                EnableTextSelection="False">
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                    <asp:CheckBox ID="chkBox" Text='<%#Eval("Name") %>' onclick="checkboxClick();" runat="server" />
                                </ItemTemplate>
                                <FooterTemplate>
                                    <div style="width:100%;" align="center"><asp:Label ID="lblCloseMe" Text="CLOSE [X]" onclick="CloseMe();" style="cursor:pointer;" runat="server" /></div>
                                </FooterTemplate>
                            </telerik:RadComboBox>

Hi,

Since the checBox is placed in ItemTemplate of RadComboBox control, you have to get reference to the checkbox of each radcomboxitem to in order to get the checked items.

C#:

protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (RadComboBoxItem rcbi in RadComboBox1.Items)
    {
        CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)rcbi.FindControl("CheckBoxID");
        if (chk.Checked)
        {
            Response.Write(rcbi.Text); // SelectedItem's text
        }
    }
}
