I have a ComboBox/DropDownList that gets data from a remote service, using virtualization. When the PageSize property is big enough (in my case 20), I have issues scrolling up the selection box dropdown list. I'm trying to scroll but then resets to the currently selected item making it almost impossible to scroll up. You can use your own demo examples to replicate this issue.

To reproduce the issue, try the ComboBox - Virtualization, in Telerik REPL (Demo), change the PageSize from 10 to 20. Open the dropdown and select an item. Then, open again the dropdown and scroll slowly up.

The popup window is not closed when the ComboBox is disabled from code.

Reproduction code:

Selected value: @selectedValue
<br />

<TelerikComboBox Data="@myComboData"
                 TextField="MyTextField"
                 ValueField="MyValueField"
                 Value="selectedValue"
                 ValueChanged="@((int value) => ValueChangedHandler(value))"
                 Placeholder="Select an item..."
                 ClearButton="true"
                 Enabled="@isEnabled"
                 Filterable="true">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    public bool isEnabled { get; set; } = true;
    IEnumerable<MyDdlModel> myComboData = Enumerable.Range(1, 20).Select(x => new MyDdlModel { MyTextField = "item " + x, MyValueField = x });

    int selectedValue { get; set; } = 3; //usually the current value should come from the model data

    public async Task ValueChangedHandler(int value)
    {
        isEnabled = false;
        await Task.Delay(4000); //simulate network delay

        selectedValue = value;

        isEnabled = true;
    }

    //in a real case, the model is usually in a separate file
    //the model type and value field type must be provided to the dropdpownlist
    public class MyDdlModel
    {
        public int MyValueField { get; set; }
        public string MyTextField { get; set; }
    }
}

Hi Telerik Support.

I am using TelerikComboBox with Virtualization and enabled Filtering.  If I filter for a text and then scroll down, the filter text gets cleared. I am using OnRead event to populate the combo box. But the same issue is seen with local data population in the below sample code.

https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/combobox/virtualization

I need to show the user the text they have entered even when they scroll down to the next page. Is there a solution for this? 

Regards

Bably

When the height of the popup is set to 'auto' and it opens upwards, the resizing process causes it to be incorrectly positioned.

# Reproduction:

1. Open this REPL - https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/mHuoPRFk52ienlUt52
2. Shrink the browser so that the ComboBox remains at the bottom of the window: 


3. Type "item 2" in the ComboBox

When selecting an item with the Enter key, the value is not displayed in the input field.

1. Open this REPL example
2. Open the ComboBox and navigate with the arrows to any item
3. Hit "Enter" to select the item

The item is selected, but its value is not displayed inside the input field.

The issue is also reproducible with the MultiColumnComboBox component. 

Hi,

EDIT: This issue (of course) relates to the case where the combobox has data selected when rendering.

The clear button of the combobox behaves in a way that I find strange, and which prevents us to get the desired behaviour in our application.

It is easily reproducable with your demo here:

https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/combobox/templates

When loading the page there is no clear button, which I think is wrong. Especially since it is not even in the DOM, so it cannot be made visible with styling. When clicking in the field, the clear button appears, and it stays there when changing focus to elsewhere, which seems inconsistent.

In other words, the span of the button (in the red box below) only appears when the combobox has had focus.

Thanks,

Niels

I would like to change the text in the ComboBox dropdown when there is no data in the source collection.

At the moment the only option is through localization for all instances like here.

If my browser culture is set to Swedish, I can no longer tab through multiple ComboBoxes.

<AdminEdit>

You can manually add the TabIndex parameter to each ComboBox and set their values to non-negative integers.

</AdminEdit>

In my data, I have multiple identical values for the TextField of the ComboBox. When the user selects one of them and focuses away from the component the selected value changes to the first instance of the items with the same TextFields, although they have different ValueFields.

Reproduction:

<TelerikComboBox Data="@myDdlData" 
                 TextField="MyTextField" 
                 ValueField="MyValueField" 
                 Value="selectedValue" 
                 ValueChanged="@((int? id) => ValueChangedHandler(id))" 
                 FilterOperator="StringFilterOperator.Contains"
                 Filterable="true">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    private List<MyDdlModel> myDdlData { get; set; }

    private void ValueChangedHandler(int? id)
    {
        selectedValue = id;
    }

    public class MyDdlModel
    {
        public int? MyValueField { get; set; }
        public string MyTextField { get; set; }
    }

    int? selectedValue { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        myDdlData = new List<MyDdlModel>()
        {
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 1,
                MyTextField = "John Smith"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 2,
                MyTextField = "John Smith"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 3,
                MyTextField = "John Smith"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 4,
                MyTextField = "Alice Jones"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 5,
                MyTextField = "Alice Jones"
            },
        };
    }
}

A ComboBox is databound via OnRead. It has an initial value, but no data arrives after the first OnRead call. We call Rebind() to fetch data and then it populates, but the component value doesn't show.

Click the button. The ComboBox should show its initial value, but doesn't. A similar scenario worked until version 2.30, when there was no Rebind(), but we set Data directly.

The workaround is to set raise a flag in OnRead and set the value in OnAfterRenderAsync.

@using Telerik.DataSource.Extensions

<TelerikButton OnClick="@BindCombo">Rebind Combo</TelerikButton>

<TelerikComboBox TItem="@ComboItem"
                 TValue="int"
                 @ref="@ComboRef"
                 TextField="Text"
                 ValueField="Id"
                 OnRead="OnComboRead"
                 Width="200px"
                 @bind-Value="@ComboValue">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    string FilterValue { get; set; } = "A";
    int ComboValue { get; set; } = 2;
    bool BindFlag { get; set; }
    bool ShouldResetValue { get; set; }
    IEnumerable<ComboItem> LegacyComboData { get; set; }

    TelerikComboBox<ComboItem, int> ComboRef { get; set; }

    void BindCombo()
    {
        BindFlag = true;
        ComboRef.Rebind();
    }

    protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
    {
        if (ShouldResetValue)
        {
            // comment out the initially set value above to make the following line work
            ComboValue = 2;
            StateHasChanged();
        }

        await base.OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender);
    }

    async Task OnComboRead(ComboBoxReadEventArgs args)
    {
        if (BindFlag)
        {
            var service = new MyService();

            var data = await service.GetComboItem(FilterValue);
            var result = await data.ToDataSourceResultAsync(args.Request);

            args.Data = result.Data;

            //ShouldResetValue = true;
        }
    }

    public class ComboItem
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyService
    {
        public async Task<IEnumerable<ComboItem>> GetComboItem(string code)
        {
            await Task.Delay(300);

            var data = new[]
            {
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 1, Code = "A", Text = "ValueA1" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 2, Code = "A", Text = "ValueA2" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 3, Code = "A", Text = "ValueA3" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 4, Code = "B", Text = "ValueB4" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 5, Code = "B", Text = "ValueB5" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 6, Code = "B", Text = "ValueB6" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 7, Code = "C", Text = "ValueC7" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 8, Code = "C", Text = "ValueC8" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 9, Code = "C", Text = "ValueC9" },
                };

            return data.Where(x => x.Code == code).ToList();
        }
    }
}

The ComboBox will not display an initial selected item, if the value is equal to the type's default. Applies to integers, guids, etc.

This used to work until version 2.30.

Here is a REPL test page.

If the value type is nullable, a zero int value will work for initial item selection.

Expected Behavior - In the ComboBox ItemTemplate show the user's email address along with user name

Actual Behavior - Works fine debugging in Visual Studio, however in a published application the browser throws exception and will not display user's email address in the ItemTemplate.

Steps To Reproduce

• Clone and start debugging application
• Navigate to https://localhost:5001/createWeather
• This is a simple form with two ComboBoxes, one for weather data and one for user data
• In debug the ComboBoxes work as expected, each has an ItemTemplate that shows the desired data.
• Stop debugging and publish the applicaiton
• ie -- dotnet publish -o "YOUR DESIRED OUPUT DIRECTORY" -r win-x64 --self-contained
• Navigate to the output directory and run .\BlazorGrid.Server.exe
• In the browser navigate to https://localhost:5001/createWeather
• The page now throws an exception
• Also notice how the user's email address is no longer shown for the User in the comobobox drop down.

Details

Ran across this in a larger application...I have a class that inherits from Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser<Guid> and wanted to display all of my users in a ComboBox with a custom ItemTemplate consisting of the Name and Email.  This works great in debug, however every time I publish/deploy the Email address is not shown.  The example repo is a stripped down version of the larger application reproducing the error.

The application is making an OData call to the backend to retrieve the Users...in the repo we do not goto a database, in the live application we do.  In both instances the user's Email is not shown in the ItemTemplate, even though one can see via the browser's network traffic tab the results from the OData call include the email address for the users.

This issue does not just affect the email property, I was unable to get any of the properties listed on Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser<Guid> to render in a published application in the ItemTemplate for the Combobox. 

Note - all of the properties in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser<Guid> are marked as 'virtual'.  I attempted to re-create this issue with a different class, in the repo I used the WeatherForecast class and created a virtual TemperatureK property...this however worked in debug and release without issue.  One can see this in the OData Weather Forecasts ComboBox on the same page, https://localhost:5001/createWeather.

Issue - Setting the selected element of a combo box inside a form worked in 2.22.0 and no longer works in 2.23.0 

Repo - https://github.com/benhysell/BlazorGridPagingIssue

Steps to Reproduce 

• In the test repo start the application and navigate to https://localhost:5001/updateWeather
• The selected value in the combo box should be the 8th value, "summary 8"
• Stop the application, in BlazorGrid.Client.csproj 
  • Replace <PackageReference Include="Telerik.UI.for.Blazor" Version="2.22.0" />
  • With <PackageReference Include="Telerik.UI.for.Blazor" Version="2.23.0" />
• Do a clean/rebuild to ensure the latest version of Telerik Blazor is being used
• Run the application in a new incognito window and navigate back to https://localhost:5001/updateWeather, notice how nothing is selected in the combo box

Details

This is a contrived example pulled out of a larger application.  Almost all of our combo boxes are backed by OData calls.  When we 'create or POST' an element the first time we load the form we have the combo box make an OData call to retrieve the top 200 elements.  On a subsequent 'edit or PUT', where we have a thing we want to update we first go get the thing we want to work with, and then fill in the comobo box with that element.

In this example application we simulate this load by deciding if a value was passed in or not for the combo box.  https://localhost:5001/updateWeather always passes in an 8 to load the 8th element.  https://localhost:5001/createWeather does not pass in any value, leaving the form value unbound.

This all worked as expected in 2.22.0, however once we upgraded to 2.23.0 we could no longer set the value of the combo box on load when combined with an OData call.

Example Repo: https://github.com/benhysell/BlazorGridPagingIssue

Steps To Reproduce

• Run application and navigate to https://localhost:5001/updateweather
• Examine the ComboBoxes 'OData Weather Forecasts' and 'OData User' appears correct
• Stop application, change package reference for Telerik.UI.for.Blazor from version 2.25.0 to version 2.26.0
• Clean/Rebuild/run application and navigate back to https://localhost:5001/updateweather
• ComboBox now appears 'doubled', there are two boarders around the ComboBox

Transitioning our application from Telerik React to Blazor, our comboboxes in our React application are hooked up to OData endpoints because of the amount of data they could display, some as large as 30mb of json.

Server filtering, https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1447481-server-filtering-with-custom-data-request-event-that-can-accommodate-remote-data, almost works, however:

• I can't set PageSize on the combobox
• I can't set TotalCount on the combobox
• Using Telerik.Blazor.ExtensionMethods.ToOdataString throws a NullReferenceException when I try to use it in the ReadItems method with the ComboBoxReadEventArgs args.Reqeuest.ToOdataString()

I tried setting up my combobox like my OData Grid, i.e.

<TelerikComboBox Data="@Dtos"
                         OnRead="@ReadItems"
                         Filterable="true"
                         Placeholder="Find what you seek by typing"
                         @bind-Value="@SelectedValue"
                         TextField="Name" 
                         ValueField="Id"
                         Pageable="true" 
                         PageSize="20" 
                         TotalCount=@Dtos.Count
                         >

However it throws an exception:

blazor.webassembly.js:1 WASM: System.InvalidOperationException: Object of type 'Telerik.Blazor.Components.TelerikComboBox`2[[MyType, MyNamespace, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null],[System.Guid, mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e]]' does not have a property matching the name 'Pageable'.

Was hoping this would 'just work' like it does with the Grid, which is amazing!
