NullText property should not be ignored when DropDownStyle property is DropDownList.  One shouldn't have to utilize the Text property or create a dummy object to simulate this behavior as discussed here:

Please add!!!  I struggle with this whenever I'm using data bound drop downs.

Run the attached project and minimize the form. Then, restore to its normal state:

Initial state:

After minimizing the form and restoring to its normal state, the arrow for RadDropDownList seems clipped:

Use the following code snippet and click the button to delete the first item from the BindingList:

        BindingList<DoctorTest> list = new BindingList<DoctorTest>();
        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
            {
                list.Add(new DoctorTest(i,"Item"+i));
            }
            this.radDropDownList1.DisplayMember = "Name";
            this.radDropDownList1.ValueMember = "Id";
            this.radDropDownList1.DataSource = list;
            this.radDropDownList1.SelectedIndex = 4;
            this.radDropDownList1.SelectedValueChanged+=radDropDownList1_SelectedValueChanged; 
        } 

        private void radDropDownList1_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
             RadMessageBox.Show(this.radDropDownList1.SelectedValue +" ---");
        }

        public class DoctorTest
        {
            public int Id { get; set; }
            public string Name { get; set; }

            public DoctorTest(int id, string name)
            {
                this.Id = id;
                this.Name = name;
            }
        }

        private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            list.RemoveAt(0);
        }

RadDropDownList gets focused when the DpiScaleChanged is triggered.

Run the attached sample project. When the form is moved from monitor A (100% DPI) to monitor B (150% DPI), every RadDropDownList gets the focus which leads to scrolling the container back to the top.

Use the following code snippet and refer to the attached gif file:

        private RadDropDownList Drop { get; set; }
        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);
            this.Drop = new RadDropDownList();
            this.Drop.AutoSize = true;
            this.Drop.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList; //So users can't write. 
            this.Drop.Font = new Font("Segoe UI", 11.25f, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point);

            RadListDataItem item = new RadListDataItem();
            item.Value = string.Empty;
            item.Text = string.Empty;
            this.Drop.Items.Add(item);

            RadListDataItem item2 = new RadListDataItem();
            item2.Value = "Hello";
            item2.Text = "Hello";
            this.Drop.Items.Add(item2);

            this.Controls.Add(this.Drop);

            this.Drop.SizeChanged += Drop_SizeChanged;

        }

        private void Drop_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Text = this.Drop.Size.ToString();
        }
    }

Run the attached project and open the drop down. When the mouse wheel is used, the items in the drop down are expected to scroll.

Expected: items are scrolled.

Actual: nothing happens

Note: It works in .NET 4.8, but not in .NET 6

It worked in R2 2022 SP1.

FIX. RadDropDownList - the control looks different than the rest of the editors when disabled and using DropDownList style

Using this font is OK:

Font("Calibri", 24, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)

But using this font is not OK, the Unit is not respected:

Font("Calibri", 24, FontStyle.Italic | FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)

The control also is increased in height.

Please run the attached sample project and you will notice that the arrow button is missing. If you comment applying the Office2019Light theme the arrow is shown.

Fluent theme:

Workaround:

Me.RadDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.ArrowButtonMinWidth = 20

One cannot set the SvgImage of the RadListDataItems.

Additionally, when ShowImageInEditorArea is true the SvgImage must be displayed in the editor area.

There is still an issue related to the drop down auto complete described in this bug report.

https://feedback.telerik.com/winforms/1468737-raddropdownlist-autocomplete-mode-works-only-the-first-time-afterward-i-can-only-type-1-character

After downloading the Release R2 2020 SP1, we can now enter more than 1 character. However, if the user keys the space bar the text in the edit area of the drop down is deleted. Additionally, if the first 2 characters are the same (for example AA), the second character is never added to the text. The issue can be re-produced using the same steps as the linked post. I have also attached a screenshot.

Let me know if you need any additional info.

I created a simple project just with a dropdownlist. The data source of the dropdownlist is a reader from SQL. First time, when I type something in the text area of the dropdownlist, the autocomplete works perfectly: if a type "235", it brings me at the first job starting with '235' and I can select the job. After, when I click back in the text area to type something else (for example: "236"), I can just type '2'. It won't let me type anything else and the autocomplete is not working. The autocomplete mode is Suggest.

This is a new problem with telerik 2020.2.512.40. Just previously, I had the trial version (2020.1.218.40) and it was working without problem. I didn't change anything in the small project. In fact, I took this project and put Telerik.Wincontrols.UI version 2020.1.218.40 anf it was working properly. I put back the version 2020.2.512.40 of the control and the problem reappeared.

First time (works fine):

Seconf time: not able to type more than 1 character

My scenario is that I have two Panels which changes Size on mouseleave/ mouseEnter events. One panel has a dropdownlist control. When popup is opened and Panel1 changes size upon Mouseenter event, the popup does not change its location. I've tried changing the popup Left property but doesn't fix the issue. Please see attached sample application.

Workaround:

        private void RadPanel1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownAnimationEnabled = false;
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.ClosePopup();
            radPanel1.Size = new Size(30, 400);
            radPanel2.Left = radPanel1.Right + 30;
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.ShowPopup();
        }

        private void RadPanel1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownAnimationEnabled = false;
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.ClosePopup();
            radPanel1.Size = new Size(200, 400);
            radPanel2.Left = radPanel1.Right + 30;
            this.radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.ShowPopup();
        }

Hi,

When using a RadDropDownList component and the RadVirtualKeyboard component I have a problem. The AutoCompleteMode.Suggest works fine the first time I click on RadVirtualKeyboard but for the other clics the suggested items don't appears on the screen.
