Turn off htmlencode

[Mattias]

Hi,
I trying to put some html as text in a radcombobox but I cant figure out how to turn of the automatically htmlencode.
I'm binding my items codebehind:

RadComboBox radComboBoxStatuses = (RadComboBox)gridEditItem.FindControl("radComboBoxStatuses");
IList statuses = EnumHelper.ToLocalizedList(typeof(ActionPlanStatus), Resources.resources.ResourceManager);

                        foreach (KeyValuePair<Enum,string> s in statuses)
                        {
                            RadComboBoxItem item = new RadComboBoxItem();

                            item.Text = "<span class=\"activityStatus timeline_dataRow" + ActionPlanService.GetActivityStatusColor((ActionPlanStatus)s.Key) + "\"></span><span>" + s.Value + "</span>";
                            item.Value = s.Key.ToString();
                            radComboBoxStatuses.Items.Add(item);
                        }

 <telerik:RadComboBox ID="radComboBoxStatuses" runat="server" AllowCustomText="true" >
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Hello Mattias,

RadComboBox uses HtmlEncode internally to encode Items' Texts and does not provide any means of switching this behavior off.

If you want to put HTML in Items to provide richer client-side appearance, please use Templates (demo/documentation).
