Text Property Bug

[Tim DiPaula]

I am experiencing the follow problem with the MultiColumn ComboBox control.
First I setup the MultiColumn ComboBox as follows:

 

CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.DataSource = _categoriesBindingSource;

CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.DisplayMember = "CategoryName";

CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.ValueMember = "CategoryId";

CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;

RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement categoriesElement = CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.MultiColumnComboBoxElement;           categoriesElement.EditorControl.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false;        categoriesElement.EditorControl.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;            categoriesElement.EditorControl.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Clear();

categoriesElement.Columns.Add(CreateGridViewDataColumn("StandardId"));

categoriesElement.Columns.Add(CreateGridViewDataColumn("CategoryId"));

categoriesElement.Columns.Add(CreateGridViewTextBoxColumn("#", "CategoryNumber", 30, 30));

categoriesElement.Columns.Add(CreateGridViewTextBoxColumn("Name", "CategoryName", 100));

On the SelectedIndexChange event of another ComboBox I set the filter for the datasource as follows:

private void StandardRadMultiColumnComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            RadMultiColumnComboBox cbo = (RadMultiColumnComboBox)sender;
            _categoriesBindingSource.Filter = String.Format("StandardId = '{0}'", cbo.SelectedValue.ToString());

            RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement categoriesElement = CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.MultiColumnComboBoxElement;

            if (categoriesElement.Rows != null && categoriesElement.Rows.Count == 0 && CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.SelectedItem != null)
            {
                CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.SelectedItem = null;
                CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.SelectedValue = null;
                CategoryRadMultiColumnComboBox.Text = " ";
            }
}

Now when the filtering results in 0 rows in the DataSource the Text property retains the previous value and I can not seem to clear it not matter what properties I change.

Was this ever fixed?

I have the latest version, and I still experience the issue.  The text will change to the text of the first cell after the DropDown closes.
