OnChange

Does anyone know how to trap SelectedIndexChanged event on the client side
for the following control?
http://www.metabuilders.com/Tools/ComboBox.aspx

I have tried MyComboBox.Attributes.Add("OnChange", "return
IndexChanged();");
but OnChange event never fires
Thanks

Peter,

You need to know what html is produced for the control. Browser option "View
Source" will give you an idea. Then you will need to figure out how to get
to the exact html element you want to attach an event to.

Hello Peter,

I've just downloaded the "combobox" control and performed some test, I
think the combobox control is composite of two built-in controls:
a dropdownlist(html <selectelement) and a textbox(<input type="text"
...../>). And there has added many additional client-side scripts to
manipulate the composite control.

As for the select change event of the combobox control, it is processed
through the following path:

1. user change the <selectelement's item

2 #1 will trigger the select item's onchange client event,

3 the event handler(defined by the control) in #2 will call the textbox's
onchange event handler(defined ) by the control.

So there is no direct client-side "onchange" event for the combobox
control. since the source code is available, I suggest you consider
customizing it and add an additional property like "onClientChange" and let
the develper specify client-sdie onchange handler. Also, you need to modify
the original code which register the client-side onchange handlers(for the
<selectand textbox) and add your own client-side handler functions( a
placeholder).

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Thanks for your help

I have one question:

In your answer you said

"Also, you need to modify
the original code which register the client-side onchange handlers(for the
<selectand textbox) and add your own client-side handler functions( a
placeholder)."

Can you tell me where is the code that registers the client-side handlers
(What's the name of the method) ?
Thanks

Hi Peter,

You can lookup the control methods in the "ComboBox.cs" file, I found the
following methos which are helpful to you:

protected override void OnPreRender(System.EventArgs e) {
========================
Most of the scripts (defined in template file) are registered into page in
this function. You can find those scripts and do some customization if you
want.
protected override void AddAttributesToRender( HtmlTextWriter writer ) {
=========================
In this method, the "onchange" client-side event handler is added into the
html <selecttag, you can consider modify it to involve some of your own
script functions in the "onchange" attribue value.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
