Hi,
I'm new to Telerik controls and I'm quite enjoying it!

Right now, I'm facing a problem which I really hope someone could help me solve :)

I'm trying to use javascript to stop the postback when selecting an item in a RadComboBox whose AutoPostBack is true..., while still allowing the selected item in the combo box to change...

So from what I understood in the documentation, I can stop it using "return false" in ClientSelectedIndexChanging, but that is not working...

I wrote a test page to check whether the problem was specific to my application, but here also it does not work...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanking you before hand,
Cheers,

Hello Yash,

You use RadComboBox for ASP.NET AJAX, so the correct way to stop the postback is:

    
            function OnClientSelectIndexChanging(sender,eventarqs)  
        
            {  
        
                eventarqs.set_cancel(true);  
        
            }

I suggest you read more about client side of RadCombobox here.

You can check this code library as well: RadComboBox - Allow only certain items to postback
