    I'm working on a project where I set the visible property on certain listboxitems to false using set_visible(false).  It works great, but if the user uses the up and down arrow to select a listboxitem, the control selects the "hidden" listboxitem which makes it appear that the up/down arrow selection is malfunctioning.

    Is there a way to override this?

    I propose that the up/down arrow functionality be changed to only select the next visible listboxitem.

    Thanks!

    Hello Jon Shipman,

    Thank you for reporting this issue to us. I've logged it into our bug tracking system and we will fix it as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can use the following workaround:

    <script type="text/javascript">
          
         var originalKeyDown = Telerik.Web.UI.RadListBox.prototype._onKeyDown;
         // true -> downwards; false -> upwards
         var modifier = 0;
     
         Telerik.Web.UI.RadListBox.prototype._onKeyDown = function (e) {
             if (e.keyCode == Sys.UI.Key.down)
                 modifier = 1;
             else if(e.keyCode = Sys.UI.Key.up)
                 modifier = -1;
             else
                 modifier = 0;
              
             originalKeyDown.apply(this, [e]);
         }
     
         function changed(sender, args) {
             if (modifier != 0) {
                 var itemsCount = sender.get_items().get_count();
                 var currentIndex = args.get_item().get_index();
                 var item = args.get_item();
     
                 if (!item.get_visible()) {
                     var itemToSelect = sender.getItem(currentIndex + modifier);
                     if (itemToSelect) {
                         itemToSelect.set_selected(true);
                         sender._activateItem(itemToSelect);
                     }
     
                 }
             }
         }
     </script>

    I've also updated your telerik points for the report.

    All the best,

    Great!  Thank you very much!

    I also just recently noticed that if SelectionMode="Multiple", shift + select will select all the hidden listboxitems as well.

    I'm going to be using SelectionMode="Single" for my current project, so I don't need a work-around for this.

    Thanks again.  Telerik has amazing customer support!
