SelectedIndexChanged problem

[Lasse]

Hi,

I have an RadDropDownList filled with some items using DataSource and bounded functionality.
When I in the SelectedIndexChanged event tries to reset the selectedvalue to the original (the one before i changed), the control simply wont listen to my commands ;) 

This is the code I use in the SelectedIndexChanged event:

void AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (_init || _selectedAgreement == (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue) return;

    if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to change the agreement?", "Change Agreement", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No)
    {
        AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue = _selectedAgreement;
        return;
    }
    _selectedAgreement = (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue;
}

The rest of the code of the form is here:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace TestDropDownList
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private readonly IList<Agreement> _agreements = new List<Agreement>();
        private int _selectedAgreement;
        private readonly bool _init = false;

        public Form1()
        {
            _init = true;
            InitializeComponent();
            AgreementRadDropDown.ItemDataBound += AgreementRadDropDownItemDataBound;
            AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedIndexChanged += AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanged;
            LoadAgreements();
            _selectedAgreement = 2;

            AgreementRadDropDown.SuspendUpdate();
            AgreementRadDropDown.DisplayMember = "Name";
            AgreementRadDropDown.ValueMember = "Id";
            AgreementRadDropDown.DataSource = _agreements;

            AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue = _selectedAgreement;
            AgreementRadDropDown.ResumeUpdate();
            _init = false;
        }

        void AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (_init || _selectedAgreement == (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue) return;

            if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to change the agreement?", "Change Agreement", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No)
            {
                AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue = _selectedAgreement;
                return;
            }
            _selectedAgreement = (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue;
        }

        private void LoadAgreements()
        {
            _agreements.Add(new Agreement(1, "Agreement1", Properties.Resources._lock));
            _agreements.Add(new Agreement(2, "Agreement2", Properties.Resources._lock));
            _agreements.Add(new Agreement(3, "Agreement3", Properties.Resources.lock_unlock));
            _agreements.Add(new Agreement(4, "Agreement4", Properties.Resources._lock));
            _agreements.Add(new Agreement(5, "Agreement5", Properties.Resources.lock_unlock));
            _agreements.Add(new Agreement(6, "Agreement6", Properties.Resources._lock));
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        static void AgreementRadDropDownItemDataBound(object sender, ListItemDataBoundEventArgs args)
        {
            var item = args.NewItem.DataBoundItem as Agreement;
            if (item != null)
                args.NewItem.Image = item.StatusImage;
        }
    }

    public class Agreement
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public Image StatusImage { get; set; }

        public Agreement(int id, string name, Image statusImage)
        {
            Id = id;
            Name = name;
            StatusImage = statusImage;
        }
    }
}

        }

        #endregion

        private Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadDropDownList AgreementRadDropDown;
    }
}

I use two images in my project.. they are attached here and need to be added to the resource file of the project to make this look like the one i have here :)

What am i doing wrong?

Hello Svein,

Thank you for contacting Telerik support.

You cannot change SelectedIndex and SelectedValue properties in SelectingIndexChanging/SelectedIndexChanged events. For you case I would like to propose to Cancel the SelectingIndexChanging event:

void AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangingCancelEventArgs e)
            {
                if (_init || _selectedAgreement == (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue) return;

                if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to change the agreement?", "Change Agreement", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No)
                {
                    e.Cancel = true;
                    return;
                }
                _selectedAgreement = (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue;
            }

Please, refer to the modified project.

I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

All the best,
