ADMIN EDIT

Here is a reproducible with the workaround highlighted in green:

@using System.Collections.ObjectModel

<h4>Option Selected: 6 @selectedSix</h4>
<br />

<TelerikDropDownList Data="@myDdlData"
                     TextField="MyTextField"
                     ValueField="MyValueField"
                     @bind-Value="@selectedSix" />

<h4>Option Selected: 7 @selectedSeven</h4>
<br />

<TelerikDropDownList Data="@myDdlData"
                     TextField="MyTextField"
                     ValueField="MyValueField"
                     @bind-Value="@selectedSeven">
</TelerikDropDownList>

<TelerikButton OnClick="@AddOption">Add Item</TelerikButton>

<ul>
    @foreach (var item in myDdlData)
    {
        <li>@item.MyValueField</li>
    }
</ul>

@code {
    int selectedSix { get; set; } = 6;
    int selectedSeven { get; set; } = 7;

    ObservableCollection<MyDdlModel> myDdlData = new ObservableCollection<MyDdlModel>(Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(x => new MyDdlModel { MyTextField = "item " + x, MyValueField = x }));

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        AddOption();

        await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));

        AddOption();
    }

    void AddOption()
    {
        myDdlData.Add(new MyDdlModel { MyTextField = "item " + (myDdlData.Count + 1), MyValueField = myDdlData.Count + 1 });

        int origSelection = selectedSeven;
        selectedSeven = 0;
        StateHasChanged();
        //add this if it does not work
        //await Task.Delay(30);//wait a rendering frame
        selectedSeven = origSelection;
        //add this if it does not work
        //StateHasChanged();
    }

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

Note: This behavior also occurs if the initial data is received after the component is initialized. The workaround in this case will be similar - set the selected value after the data is received.

The following knowledge base article describes how to select the default value in a drop down, but if there's no default value the selection is not cleared using this method.

https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/knowledge-base/inputs-clear-selection-value?_ga=2.18517947.380379649.1635269411-1661447875.1621547203

When setting the bind value to null (or the default, or frankly anything that doesn't exist in the drop down) I'd like the drop down list selection to be cleared when there's no default value set on the DropDownList.

@page "/"

<br />

<TelerikButton OnClick="@ClearSelection">Clear selection</TelerikButton>
<TelerikDropDownList Data="@data" @bind-Value="selectedValue" />

@code {
    List<string> data = new() { "selection" };
    string selectedValue;

    void ClearSelection()
    {
        // This does not cause the drop down to clear the selection and I think it should.
        selectedValue = null;
    }
}

The first element of the dropdown gets read aloud at page load even without being focused.

Using the latest version of (Chrome and Chromevox) and (Firefox and NVDA).

DropdownList does not work very well with a screen reader.

It should work like this one https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/examples/listbox/listbox-collapsible.html

Using NVDA and Firefox, it reads the selected item 3 times, sometimes does not work at all (This is only when you open the dropdown using alt plus down arrow). Using just the arrow up and down keys does not work.

Using Cromevox and ChromeOn the dropdowns, it does not give a description of how many options are available like, "1 of 4" when you first tab to it. It reads it after I already selected the first option. That should be reversed, read the options first and not after its selected (This is only when you open the dropdown using alt plus down arrow). Using only the arrow key up and down it reads the selected item only but does not reads the other options.

I have a cascading DropDownList scenario with virtual scrolling. When the first DropDownList changes value, the second one should reset its scrollbar to the top, because it now contains new data. This doesn't happen.

Here is a REPL test page.

Hello,

If I scroll the page down and open a filterable DropDownList, the page will scroll up.

Here is a REPL test page

UI for Blazor 2.30 works as expected. This broke in version 3.0.0. The issue exists only in WebAssembly apps.

ADMIN EDIT

This behavior is observed in the DropDownList when filtering is enabled and in the ComboBox regardless of whether filtering is enabled or not.

The (filter) input gets focus, which shows the soft keyboard, which changes the viewport size, which causes the dropdown to hide. Unfortunately, there is no workaround at the moment (except perhaps disabling filtering for small viewports).

When used in Bootstrap Grid the DropDownList popup is misaligned on the first open. On a second click, it is aligned.

This behavior is also valid for Combobox and Autocomplete.

Reproduction code:

<div class="box">
    <div class="row mt-3" style="align-items:center">
        <div class="col-12 col-lg-4">
            <span class="bold">ComboBox</span>
        </div>
        <div class="col">
            <TelerikComboBox Data="@myComboData" TextField="ComboTextField" ValueField="ComboValueField"
                             @bind-Value="selectedCombo" ClearButton="true" Filterable="true">
            </TelerikComboBox>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="row mt-3" style="align-items:center">
        <div class="col-12 col-lg-4">
            <span class="bold">DropDownList</span>
        </div>
        <div class="col">
            <TelerikDropDownList Data="@myDdlData" TextField="MyTextField" ValueField="MyValueField"
                                 @bind-Value="@selectedDropDown">
            </TelerikDropDownList>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="row mt-3" style="align-items:center">
        <div class="col-12 col-lg-4">
            <span class="bold">Autocomplete</span>
        </div>
        <div class="col">
            <TelerikAutoComplete Data="@Suggestions" @bind-Value="@AutoCompleteValue"
                                 ClearButton="true" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

@code {
    public int selectedDropDown { get; set; }
    public int selectedCombo { get; set; }
    public string AutoCompleteValue { get; set; }

    //ComboBox
    public class ComboModel
    {
        public int ComboValueField { get; set; }
        public string ComboTextField { get; set; }
    }

    IEnumerable<ComboModel> myComboData = Enumerable.Range(1, 20).Select(x => new ComboModel { ComboTextField = "item " + x, ComboValueField = x });

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

    IEnumerable<MyDdlModel> myDdlData = Enumerable.Range(1, 20).Select(x => new MyDdlModel { MyTextField = "item " + x, MyValueField = x });

    //Autocomplete
    List<string> Suggestions { get; set; } = new List<string> {
        "Manager", "Developer", "QA", "Technical Writer", "Support Engineer", "Sales Agent", "Architect", "Designer"
    };
}

The drop down list component does not allow the user to associate a label with the underlying html select input control, which goes against accessibility standards. It appears that most, if not all, of the other components follow the accessibility standards. Please fix the drop down list and/or allow attribute splatting so that developers can apply their own attributes (like aria-label) to meet accessibility standards.

I have two cascaded dropdownlists, in attached example car brands and selectable colors. The dependent dropdown has defaulttext option. After the parent dropdown has changed, in its event handler I reload the dependent data source and set a new valid value. If the data source does not contain the previous (!) value, the dropdownlist calls the valuechanged callback with default value. In next round when dependent dropdown holds the default value, after reloading datasource it works as expected. And parent changes again, if the updated datasource does not contain the previous dependent value the dropdownlist sets its value to default.

When I do not pass defaulttext parameter, the dependent dropdown selects the first element from the updated datasource. In my case it is not acceptable because I want to set a specific value (in this example the default color), not the first and not the default.

This feedback drives me to try setting value to default and wait for re-render the descendant dropdownlist before set the wanted value. 

Is there any way to avoid this behaviour of the dropdownlist?

<TelerikDropDownList TItem="Brand"
			 TValue="int"
			 ValueField=@nameof(Brand.Id)
			 TextField=@nameof(Brand.Name)
			 Data="@BrandList"
			 Value="@Data.BrandId"
			 ValueChanged=@OnBrandChanged />

<TelerikDropDownList TItem="Color"
			 TValue="int"
			 ValueField=@nameof(Brand.Id)
			 TextField=@nameof(Brand.Name)
			 Data="@FilteredColorList"
			 Value="@Data.ColorId"
			 ValueChanged="@OnColorChanged"
			 DefaultText="select color ..." />

async Task OnBrandChanged(int brandId)
{
	Data.ColorId = default;
	await Task.Delay(5);
	Data.BrandId = brandId;
	Data.ColorId = GetDefaultColor(brandId);
	FilteredColorList = GetFilteredColorList(brandId);
}

When the Default text value is changed by some business logic, the component does not react to that change to update the Default text value in the view model.

DropDownList should re-render on change of the Default text parameter
