RadCombox Custom Text being Saved even if Allowcustomtext ="false"

[Aman]

Hi Guys,

 I have a strange issue where the radcombobox allows the user to enter text and search data, also this data which he entered is allowed to save.

 

<telerik:radcombobox id="rdChangeOwner" skin="Web20" cssclass="RadComboBoxDropDownrcbScroll"
dropdowncssclass="RadComboBoxDropDownrcbScroll" runat="server" font-names="calibri"
font-size="11pt" width="230px" allowcustomtext="false" height="180px" enableloadondemand="True"
showmoreresultsbox="true" enablevirtualscrolling="true" emptymessage="Please Select..."
radcomboboximageposition="Right" zindex="10000002" onitemsrequested="ddlChangeOwnerItemsRequested"
causesvalidation="true" highlighttemplateditems="true" onclientblur="rdChangeOwnerBlur">
</telerik:radcombobox>

 

Initial Value of DropDown is "Asif Mohammed"

Looking for a Employee in picker and entered Asif


Didn’t not select the populated value(Asif Mohammed), just left the entered text as "Asif".

Asif is not there in the list, but "Asif Mohammed" is available, but it allowed me to save Asif into DB and hence got me error because internally it was not able to resolve.

 

Please help in getting a solution for this Issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Mohammed Asif Mtext

Hello Mohammed,

The described behavior is expected, because when the LoadOnDemand feature of the RadComboBox is enabled, the AllowCustomText functionality is automatically enabled. In order to achieve the desired funcitonality, I would suggest you to follow the approach, demonstrated in the documentation article below:
