Rest a combobox filter but not the selected item

[Susan Hessler]

Hello,

I have a combobox with the following:
    AllowCustomText = False
    Filter = Contains
    IsCaseSensitive = False
    MarkFirstMatch = True
    OpenDropDownOnLoad = True

When I type something into the text area, the list of items shrinks to what matches what I've typed in so far.  I can then select from a smaller list the item I want.  This all works fine.

My problem is that I need to somehow erase what I typed in but not what I selected.  I need to do this so that when I click on the drop-down again, all items are shown and not only the ones that had what I typed in them.

I cannot seem to find cbox.filterExpression or cbox.currentFilterValue to reset to "".

I am using version 2010.3.1317.35.

Any help would be very appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Susan

Hello Susan,

In order to achieve the desired behavior you could subscribe on the client-side OnClientDropDownOpening event and use the following implementation of the event handler function:

function OnClientDropDownOpening(sender, args) {

           $telerik.$("li", sender.get_dropDownElement()).each(function () {


               if ($telerik.$(this).css("display") == "none") {
                   $telerik.$(this).css("display", "");
               }
           });

       }

All the best,
