I want to check on the server side if the user has selected an item from the drop-down list, or if he has entered custom text. With a RadComboBox, the SelectedIndex property is -1 for custom text, and 0, 1, 2, ... for a drop-down item. But the MultiLineComboBox does not have such a property. How else can I check on the server side if the user has entered custom text?

Hi Michael,

Currently, there is no SelectedIndexChanged property for the MultiColumnComboBox, as there is for the regular one, but you can achieve a similar behavior as shown in the Achieve SelectedIndexChanged server-side event behavior with RadMultiColumnComboBox article.

I hope this helps you out.

Kind regards,

Hi Vasko,

thanks for your quick answer! This will help, but IMO it would be better if there was a SelectedIndexChanged event on the server side.

 

Nevertheless - great support from you Telerik guys & girls!
