Rad combo box multi select checkboxes text? - asp.net

I am using the following rad combobox in my rad grid edit form template:
<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcmbGroundPlan" runat="server" CheckBoxes="true" Text='<%# Bind("Fd_Groundplan") %>' Width="250">
<Items>
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="H" />
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="U" />
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="T" />
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="L" />
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="cruciform" />
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="T" />
</Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>
I am using rad grid AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" and everything works fine as long as the width of the radcombox is 650 px. But if I reduce the width and the selected checkboxes are more, the text changes to number of items checked like 3 items checked or 4 items checked and this string is being inserted to my db instead of the actual selected items. How can I avoid this. Do i have to always keep on increasing my rad combo box width. Please guide.

Using the following property of the rad combo box
CheckedItemsTexts="DisplayAllInInput" I am able to get my desired solution.

.NET 4.5: ASP Menu Item value displaying as a link?

In my code below the asp menu item value property is actually rendering as link text!
<asp:Menu ID="menuTop" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass="menuselected" SkipLinkText="">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/Menu_Home.jpg" Value="Home" />
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Contact.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/Menu_Contact.jpg" Value="Contact"/>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
According to the MSDN reference located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.menuitem.value.aspx
The Value property is used to supplement the Text property by storing
any additional data associated with the menu item. This value is not
displayed in the control and is commonly used to store data for
handling postback events.
I need it to store values, why is it displaying as link text?
Try this code.
<asp:Menu ID="menuTop" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass="menuselected" SkipLinkText="">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/Menu_Home.jpg" Value="Home" Text="" />
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Contact.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/Menu_Contact.jpg" Value="Contact" Text=""/>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
Nevermind, I figured it out. Looks like you need to set the Text value to "" and that prevents the value from displaying as text.

How to use combobox in devexpress aspxgridview

I am displaying my data in a devexpress gridview. One of the column is state value. When the grid is edited, I have to show the state in a combobox, so that the user could change the state by choosing a different state. Currently it is displayed in a textbox, since it is the default. Essentially when the user clicks the edit button, a combobox should be displayed as part of the edit controls, and the combobox should be populated with all possible states in the codebehind and the selected value should be the initial value on the grid. It is very easy do it in MS gridview. But I couldn't see any sample code for how to do it in the devexpress gridview.
Thanks
Use GridViewDataComboBoxColumn. Declare datasource and attach it to combo box column or populate it in code behind. This example contains both variants.
You can also take a look at DevExpress grid editing demos.
<dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="FieldName" VisibleIndex="4">
<EditItemTemplate>
<dx:ASPxComboBox ID="ASPxComboBox1" runat="server" DataSourceID="newDataSource" >
</dx:ASPxComboBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</dx:GridViewDataTextColumn>
You'll need to set the datasource so you'll get the list of values
If you don't have a data source and want to include the combo box items in your code, here's another way to create the column:
<dx:GridViewDataComboBoxColumn FieldName="QAAproval" VisibleIndex="11" Width="30px">
<PropertiesComboBox>`enter code here`
<Items>
<dx:ListEditItem Text="GENERIC" Value="GENERIC" />
<dx:ListEditItem Text="FAIR" Value="FAIR" />
<dx:ListEditItem Text="VSE" Value="VSE" />
<dx:ListEditItem Text="ECAV" Value="ECAV" />
<dx:ListEditItem Text="FMMDS" Value="FMMDS" />
<dx:ListEditItem Text="CLEAR" Value="CLEAR" />
</Items>
</PropertiesComboBox>
<CellStyle Font-Size="XX-Small">
</CellStyle>
</dx:GridViewDataComboBoxColumn>
Edit the GridView Template, and in the EditTemplate of the field, add the dropdownbox. It might come to look like this
<dx:GridViewDataTextColumn Caption="Field Name"
FieldName="FieldName" VisibleIndex="3">
<EditItemTemplate>
<cc1:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
</cc1:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</dx:GridViewDataTextColumn>
So when you edit that row, it will show the DDL
I have used the following code to have combo box in the aspxgridview.
I hope this example helps :
<dx:GridViewDataComboBoxColumn FieldName="DatabaseFieldName" Settings-FilterMode="DisplayText"
Width="3%" VisibleIndex="3" Visible="True" Caption="Priority" Settings-AutoFilterCondition="Contains"
HeaderStyle-VerticalAlign="Middle" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" CellStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
CellStyle-VerticalAlign="Top">
<PropertiesComboBox ValueType="System.String" DataSourceID="objDataSourceID"
Width="200px" Height="25px" TextField="TextFieldName" ValueField="ValueFieldName"
IncrementalFilteringMode="StartsWith">
</PropertiesComboBox>
</dx:GridViewDataComboBoxColumn>

AJAX Control Toolkit MultiHandleSlider readOnly handle

I have a question about AJAX MultiHandleSliderExtender. Code is following:
<form runat="server" id="myForm">
<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server" CombineScripts="false" />
<asp:TextBox ID="strMinModTB" runat="server" Style="display:none;" Text="80" />
<asp:TextBox ID="strCurModTB" runat="server" Style="display:none;" Text="100" />
<asp:TextBox ID="strMaxModTB" runat="server" Style="display:none;" Text="160" />
<asp:TextBox ID="strSlider" runat="server" Style="display:none;" />
<asp:MultiHandleSliderExtender ID="strModMultiSlider" runat="server"
BehaviorID="strModMultiSlider"
TargetControlID="strSlider"
Minimum="0"
Maximum="300"
Length="600"
EnableHandleAnimation="true"
EnableKeyboard="false"
EnableMouseWheel="false"
ShowInnerRail="true"
ShowHandleDragStyle="true"
ShowHandleHoverStyle="true">
<MultiHandleSliderTargets>
<asp:MultiHandleSliderTarget ControlID="strMinModTB" />
<asp:MultiHandleSliderTarget ControlID="strCurModTB" />
<asp:MultiHandleSliderTarget ControlID="strMaxModTB" />
</MultiHandleSliderTargets>
</asp:MultiHandleSliderExtender>
<asp:Label ID="sliderLabel" runat="server" Visible="true"></asp:Label>
</form>
Now what I want to do is to lock positions of outter handles and allow only the middle one to be dragged in range from the left hanle to the right one thus changing the value in asp:Label (ID="sliderLabel").
I've tried readOnly="true" attribute on TextBoxes but with no result. There is also IsReadOnly Extender property but that blocks all handles.
Also when I add the BoundControlID property (containing ID of label) to the Extender it stops working (all handles on 0 position and I cannot drag them)
Is there a way around this or am I missing something?
Thank you for replies :)
You don't need a BoundControlID for the MHSE do you?
Also, could you not add a class to each Handle and then fix the outer handles positions using CSS?
See below for code example.
ASP Code
<asp:MultiHandleSliderExtender ID="strModMultiSlider" runat="server"
BehaviorID="strModMultiSlider" TargetControlID="strSlider"
Minimum="0" Maximum="300" Length="600"
EnableHandleAnimation="true" EnableKeyboard="false"
EnableMouseWheel="false" ShowInnerRail="true"
ShowHandleDragStyle="true" ShowHandleHoverStyle="true">
<MultiHandleSliderTargets>
<asp:MultiHandleSliderTarget ControlID="strMinModTB" HandleCssClass="handle_outer"/>
<asp:MultiHandleSliderTarget ControlID="strCurModTB" HandleCssClass="handle_inner" />
<asp:MultiHandleSliderTarget ControlID="strMaxModTB" HandleCssClass="handle_outer"/>
</MultiHandleSliderTargets>
</asp:MultiHandleSliderExtender>
CSS Code
.handle_outer
{
//Code to Fix Handle in Place
}
.handle_inner
{
}

ASP.NET DropDownList - GetSelectedIndices missing one selected item

Maybe I'm losing my mind - I thought this was straight forward.
ListCode.DataTextField = "code_desc";
ListCode.DataValueField = "code_id";
ListCode.DataSource = Foo.GetCodes();
ListCode.DataBind();
The selection mode is set to multipls and all is good, about 50 items with appropriate values displays. Then I select 5 items and submit the form. I do a
int[] indices = ListCode.GetSelectedIndices();
and the array only has the first four items that I selected. It seems that if I select multiple items in the list and submit the form, I'm only able to retrieve all but the last selected item - it doesn't matter if I use GetSelectedIndices or if I iterate through each item in the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You must be using a ListBox I assume. I made the following test app:
<asp:ListBox ID="lstTest" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple">
<asp:ListItem Text="Test1" Value="1" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Test2" Value="2" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Test3" Value="3" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Test4" Value="4" />
</asp:ListBox>
<asp:Button ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="Test" OnClick="btnTest_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="lblTest" runat="server" />
protected void btnTest_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int[] selectedIndexes = lstTest.GetSelectedIndices();
lblTest.Text = selectedIndexes.Length.ToString();
}
Seems to work fine so I have to assume it has something to do with your binding or when you are fetching the indicies. Can you post a trimmed down version of your broken code?
Not really an answer, but I swapped in a checkboxlist and it worked like a champ.

ASP.NET Menu Image with Dropdown Text Subitems

I have a menu user control with image buttons like this one:
<asp:TableCell ID="tcDownload" runat="server" CssClass="MyMenuTableCellDownload" VerticalAlign="Top" >
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnDownload" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/MyMenu/tb_download_1.gif"
CssClass="MyMenuIbtn" ToolTip="Download Results" />
</asp:TableCell>
In the codebehind, I handle the onclick for these to navigate to another page:
ibtnDownload.Attributes.Add("onclick", "document.location.href = '" + strNavUrl + "';return false");
Elsewhere in the user control, I have regular text menus like this one:
<asp:TableCell ID="tcMyMenuCust" runat="server">
<asp:Menu ID="menuMyCust" runat="server" StaticDisplayLevels="1" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="1" Orientation="Horizontal"
CssClass="MyMenuCustomer" StaticMenuItemStyle-ItemSpacing="0px" DynamicMenuItemStyle-CssClass="MyMenuDynamicItem"
StaticMenuItemStyle-CssClass="MyMenuStaticItem" DynamicHoverStyle-CssClass="MyMenuDynamicItemHover" DynamicVerticalOffset="0"
StaticHoverStyle-CssClass="MyMenuStaticItemHoverCust" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="false"
DynamicPopOutImageUrl="~/Images/MyMenu/menu_arrow_grey.gif" DynamicMenuItemStyle-VerticalPadding="2"
DisappearAfter="0" OnMenuItemClick="menuMy_MenuItemClick">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem Text="Customers" ImageUrl="~/Images/MyMenu/MyMenuGradientTransparent.png" Selectable="false">
<asp:MenuItem Text="Domestic "
Value="Customer_Domestic",
NavigateUrl="~/MyMain.aspx?_page=DomCusts&_title=DomesticCustomers">
</asp:MenuItem>
<asp:MenuItem Text="International "
Value="Customer_International"
NavigateUrl="~/MyMain.aspx?_page=IndCusts&_title=InternationalCustomers">
</asp:MenuItem>
</asp:MenuItem>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
</asp:TableCell>
What I want to do is extend the menu choices by changing the image buttons to behave like the regular menus, while maintaining their look (image resource). That is, clicking on the image should result in a submenu dropping down to display subitems.
I know it's possible to use properties such as StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage to indicate that a menu item has child items. I also understand that menu items can have background images, but what if I simply want to use an image rather than text on a main menu item that drops down subitems when clicked?
This turns out to be fairly straightforward. In the example above, I provide an ID for the top level item ("Customers") and remove the Text property, so that only the image refferred to in the ImageURL appears.
