[Solved] tlrkComboBoxes in Q3 Prometheus

[James]

Hi,

Since putting on the latest Prometheus, the tlrkComboBoxes doesn't seem to work. It's still int the help file, but when I try to use it it throws up a message saying it's not defined.

Please tell me I'm not being a muppet again. :-(

Regards

Bobby

Hello Bobby,

We removed the tlrkComboBoxes array in the last build of the Prometheus controls. We are in a process of updating the online help and this change will be reflected.

If you have any troubles migrating your javascript code from the previous build to the latest one - please let us know.

Hi again,

Yes, I am having problems with the migration. :-(

I currently have 3 combo boxes within the toolbar control and the only way I found of accessing the combo boxes was with the tlrkComboBoxes array.

Now that the tlrkComboBoxes array has been removed, how can I get to the combo boxes within a toolbar in javascript? I need to find items in the combo to programatically select them, and I also need to disable items within the combo, or the combo itself.

Regards

Bobby

Hello Bobby,

We have implemented a new client-side event - OnClientLoad. It is included in our latest internal build and will be included in the forthcoming Service Pack 2 of the control.

Here is how this method will help you get the instance of a ComboBox nested in a ToolBar template:

<rad:RadToolbar ID="RadToolbar1" runat="server">
                <Items>
                    <rad:RadToolbarButton runat="server" ButtonText="Select" CommandName="Select"
                        Hidden="False"  DisplayType="TextOnly"/>
                     <rad:RadToolbarTemplateButton>
                        <ButtonTemplate>
                            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1"
                            runat="server"
                            OnClientLoad="onLoad">
                                <Items>
                                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item 1" />
                                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="item 2" />
                                </Items>
                            </telerik:RadComboBox>
                        </ButtonTemplate>
                     </rad:RadToolbarTemplateButton>
                </Items>
            </rad:RadToolbar>

<script type="text/javascript">
var combo;

function onLoad(sender)
{
    combo = sender;
}
</script>

Now you can use the combo variable which references to that combobox.


Attached, please find the latest internal build of RadControls Prometheus.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Do you know when this will be implemented in the full release, or the service pack release?

We've just bought the full product, but it's a slightly earlier version than the hotfix you posted (1314 instead of 1328), and therefore doesn't appear to have the client side event "OnClientLoad"

Regards

Bobby

Hello Bobby,

The forthcoming SP2 will include an array of all the comboboxes on the page.

You can access it by:

var comboArray = Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox.ComboBoxes;
//do whatever you want with the first combobox
comboArray[0].set_text("Please select a State");
//do whatever you want with the second combobox
comboArray[1].set_text("Please select a City");

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,

Hi Again,

Thanks for the reply. When is SP2 going to be released?

I'm mainly asking because at the moment I either have 2 options

1) Install using the released version we've bought, but then I lose the "combo Array" functionality and also it doesn't contain the OnClientLoad events for me to code around it.

2) I have to use the hotfixed version that I was sent, but this is only a trial version and therefore the additional "unlicensed" message appears randomly on pages.

Regards

Bobby

Hello Bobby,

We already released the SP2 so you can download the official dev build from your Client.Net account.

You can see the Release notes here: http://www.telerik.com/aspnet-prometheus/2007.3.1425/VersionNotes.aspx
