Width decreases and styling is lost after postback

[Aneesh Pulukkul]

Hello Team,

I have a RadComboBox that works fine as long as any postback events do not occur. But when a postback occurs, the width of combobox decreases and the styling is all messed up - additional "select" text is displayed on the right end and list items are displayed with a transparent background. I have tried the solutions found here, but were ineffectual:

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/combobox/radcombobox-changes-width-height.aspx
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet/combobox/radcombo-width-changes-after-an-ajax-postback.aspx

The point here is that it doesn't happen for an AJAX postback - it happens only when entire page is reloaded.

Could you please provide a solution as we have to use RadComboBox across many pages in our application?

Thanks,
Aneesh Pulukkul

Hello Aneesh,

It looks as the skin is not loaded after the postback, but we're not able to help unless you provide us with a simple project demonstrating the problem.

Best wishes,

I'm having the same exact problem and cannot find a resolution to it. It is as explained, when I first load the page the combobox loads perfect with skin and all. Once I have to do a postback to the page, it looks as though the width is half of what it should be or possibly the default width, the top and bottom images are still the correct length, no arrow for the image and the word "select" on the end.

This problem has only shown up on the latest version of 2009.3.1314.35

I am also putting this in as a support ticket.

Thanks

I am having the same problem...was there any resolution to this issue?

[Rob]

Yes there was. I had to add code to the Page Load event to make sure that skin rendering was back on for the ajax controls. I'm currently working on the controls themselves to fix the issue because I have over 45 lines of worthless code to work around this.

 

// This is hack to make the skin work on these controls until telerik fixes it.

 

 

if (!rsmInvesting.IsInAsyncPostBack)

 

{

lbEdocs.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddEdocStMonths.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddEdocsStYear.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddConfirmsAction.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddEdocsTaxYear.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddEdocsTaxType.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddPositionSelect.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddActivityCrit.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;

 

ddAccounts.EnableAjaxSkinRendering =

true;
}

This is just a few of the lines but you get the idea.

Thanks
Rob
