user too fast

[John Hadjioannou]

When the user clicks on a combobox that has already initialised with a value, usually the whole value highlights and when the user types it is overwritten.  This is the expected behaviour.

Sometimes, if the user starts typing quickly, the text they type is inserted into the existing text - it seems that they arre "too fast" for the highlighting to have taken effect.  Is there a way round this?

Thanks

Hi John Hadjioannou,

Can you reproduce the issue in this demo? If yes, how?

Hi Simon

No, the issue doesn't arise with the demo.

I do however have an OnKeyPressing event:

 

function onKeyPressing(sender, eventArgs) {

 

 

    // Bugfix for RadCombo

 

 

    var e = eventArgs.get_domEvent();

 

 

    var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;

 

 

    var shouldMarkFirstMatch = (keyCode !== 32);

 

 

    sender.set_markFirstMatch(shouldMarkFirstMatch);

 

 

    // end bugfix

 

 

    if (sender.get_text() == '') {

 

 

    sender.requestItems('', false);

 

 

}

The bugfix is to deal with the problem in http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/combobox/radcombobox-not-allowing-spaces-in-custom-text.aspx 

Could this be causing the problem?

John

Hello John Hadjioannou,

Does removing the workaround fix the issue?
