Hello,
how can I set an initial value if the control has serverfiltering is true?
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/combobox/serverfiltering
To be clearer we have a multipage wizard where you can navigate between his pages. On the first page we have some comboboxes with a large datasoure (200k~ items). So we set the combobox to filter on server which works well. We got the entered text and fire a contains query against the database. If the user now submits the form with the combobox in it, we store the key value (15) in die session. After a while the user decides to choose an other value from that combobox and opens the page of it. Now we want to show the previous selected value in that combobox, but how? We have first tried to set its value via javascript .value(15) but that shows the 15 in the combobox but not the text (Tofu). How can we force to select the data from the server if it is not loaded? With .text("Tofu") it shows the tofu but has no key value :( thats maybe because we have multiple items with name Tofu but with diffrent ids.
Thank you!
