OnClientDropDownClosing

The OnClientDropDownClosing client-side event occurs before the drop-down container is closed.

The event handler receives two parameters:

1. The instance of RadAutoCompleteBox firing the event.

2. An eventArgs parameter containing the following two methods:

• get_cancel() - returns a boolean value indicating whether the event has been canceled.

• set_cancel(boolean) - cancels the event depending on the value passed as an argument.

This event is used in scenarios when operations need to be performed to RadAutoCompleteBox before closing the drop-down container, or when the closing need to be canceled.

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
	function dropDownClosing(sender, eventArgs) {
		eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
		alert(eventArgs.get_cancel());
	}
</script>
