Select Text After Request Items

[Dave]

I am using the RadCombobox with the Load On Demand functionality.  I have JS code that selects all the text in the combobox when a user clicks on it (This should be a feature of the combobox I think).  This works once the combobox has had the data loaded into it but not the first time when the LOD is called.  Right now I have it linked to the OnClientFocus event.  I have tried linking the same code to the OnClientItemsRequested event but it doesn't work.  Any thoughts?  Below is my JS code.

function OnClientFocus(sender) { var combo = document.getElementById(sender._uniqueId); combo.select(); }

Hi Dave,

Your code finds the outermost DIV element representing the RadComboBox and a select method on it.

On the other hand RadComboBox has the selectText method which accepts two parameters - startIndex  and endIndex. The method selects endIndex characters starting from startIndex inclusive.

You use this method to select the text in the RadComboBox, i.e.

sender.selectText(0, sender.get_text().length);

Is this what you are looking for?

Sincerely yours,

I tired putting that code in the OnClientItemsRequested client side event but it does not seem to change the behavior.  What it appears to do is select the text, then after the LOD functionality has finished Loading items it moves the cursor to the end of the text.  Any way to not have it reset the cursor position at the end of loading items?

Hi Dave,

It is working ok on our side - please find attached a sample page.
You can try using the setTimeout function:

setTimeout(function() { sender.selectText(0, sender.get_text().length);}, 100);
