OnClientDropDownClosing

The OnClientDropDownClosing client-side event occurs before the drop-down list closes.

The event handler receives two parameters:

1. The instance of the combobox firing the event.

2. An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:

• set_cancel lets you prevent the drop-down from closing.

• get_domEvent() returns the DOM event object of the drop-down closing.

The following example uses the OnClientDropDownClosing event to prevent the drop-down list from closing if the prompt item is selected:

ASPNET

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientDropDownClosing(sender, eventArgs) {
		if (sender.get_text() == "Select An Item") {
			eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
		}
		else {
			eventArgs.set_cancel(false);
		}
	}
</script>
<telerik:radcombobox 
id="RadComboBox1" 
runat="server" 
onclientdropdownclosing="OnClientDropDownClosing">   
<Items>      
	<telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Select An Item">      
	</telerik:RadComboBoxItem>     
	<telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Item1">      
	</telerik:RadComboBoxItem>      
	<telerik:RadComboBoxItem  runat="server" Text="Item 2">      
	</telerik:RadComboBoxItem>     
	<telerik:RadComboBoxItem  runat="server" Text="Item 3">      
	</telerik:RadComboBoxItem>   
</Items>
</telerik:radcombobox>
