Templates on client side

[Andrew Short]

I have a Combo Box which I am trying to use to drop down a CheckBoxList control, which the user can make multiple selections.  I have an onclick event on each of the checkboxes, and in that event handler I am trying to get a reference to the checkboxlist.  In the code behind, I attach the event handler by doing

checkbox.Attributes.Add(

"onclick", "doPropertyClick()")

for each checkbox.  In the handler, I am trying to get a reference to the checkbox list below, but I do not know how to find the checkbox control within the template item on the client side.

function doPropertyClick() {

var count = 0

var txt = ""

var combo = $find("ddlProperties")

var cbxList = combo.get_items().getItem(0)

var arrayOfCheckBoxes = cbxList.childNodes

for(var i=0;i<arrayOfCheckBoxes.length;i++) {

 count = count + 1
  txt = arrayOfCheckBoxes[i].text
}

if (count > 1) {

txt =

"Multiple Selected"

}

setTimeout(

function() { $find("ddlProperties").set_text(txt); }, 100);

}

The declaration for the control is below.

<

telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlProperties" runat="server">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:CheckBoxList ID="cbxProperties" runat="server" RepeatLayout="Flow">

</asp:CheckBoxList>

</ItemTemplate>

<Items>

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem />

</Items>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

I have found a solution for the initial problem, but I have another issue.  How can I prevent the RadComboBox from closing when an item is selected. In my example, I have a CheckBoxList as a template item in which I want the user to be able to make multiple selections at once.
