with multiple select the selecteditem is not updated

[Hubert]

Hi,

when you click Barcelona in the left ListBox of the telerik demos - ListBox - server side events
the event SelectedIndexChanged is fired and in the Properties RadListBox1.SelectedIndex
and RadListBox1.SelectedValue are the actual values.

But in "multiple select" scenario the SelectedIndex and SelectedValue do not change (sometimes).
Hold CTRL and select Bonn and Boston. You can see that the server event is fired, but the text is still Barcelona
and the index does not change.

Sometimes the correct values are fired, but not with every click holding the CTRL key down to select multiple values.

cheers
Hubert

Hello Hubert,

Let me explain in more details how the demo you have inspected works. With the SelectionMode set to "Multiple", each selected item is added to the SelectedItemsCollection at the SelectedIndexChanged event handler. This collection is arranged in an ascending order in regards to the index of each item. In the demo, we show the selected value and index only of the first item of the aforementioned collection ( the one with the lower index ).
Therefore,  you could observe the SelectedIndex changed in the EventLog only when you select an item that is just above the previously selected one.

Hello Nencho,

i can confirm the behavior, but how is it possible to get the last selected item, when multiple selection
is activated?

Hi Hubert,

You could use the OnClientSelectedIndexChanged client event , in order to easily access the last selected item. Please consider the following approach :

<div>
       <telerik:RadListBox ID="RadListBox1" runat="server" Width="256px" Height="320" AutoPostBack="true"
           OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="onClientSelectedIndexChanged" SelectionMode="Multiple">
           <Items>
               <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="item1" />
               <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="item2" />
               <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="item3" />
               <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="item4" />
               <telerik:RadListBoxItem runat="server" Text="item5" />
           </Items>
       </telerik:RadListBox>
   </div>
   <script type="text/javascript">

       function onClientSelectedIndexChanged(sender, args) {

           alert(args.get_item().get_text())
       }

   </script>
