It would be nice to be able to set dropdown popup alignment position like, left, right, top, bottom for all dropdowns like, dropdown button, dropdown list, etc

Hi,

At present, the DropDown components do not activate their popups when focused and the spacebar is pressed. Instead, the popup opening is achieved by pressing "alt + arrowDown." However, to align with the behavior of HTML5 select elements, it would be expected that the Kendo DropDown components open their popups when the spacebar is pressed as well.

Hi,

At present, the DropDowns have the capability to accommodate just a single level of grouping. Enhancing this feature to support multiple levels of grouping would be highly beneficial.

Hi,

The defaultItem should be modified to accept null values and, when valuePrimitive is set to false, display them as empty options.

Example with the select element - https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-9ftiew?file=src%2Fmain.ts

I was using angular-ui-select based on select2 in the past. Select2 has a nice feature that allow you to highlight search term in the combo items. could you add this?

Greetings,

My team and I are wondering about the possibility for the DropDownLists to be configurable to allow screenreader users to focus disabled items in the dropdown list.

Currently in the DropDownList, it is not possible (or we can't discover) to reach disabled items in a DropDownList (not talking about the input itself being disabled, but rather items inside)

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dropdowns/dropdownlist/disabled-items/

Regardless of if this functionality does or does not violate any accessibility standards, we believe it would be a useful feature for screen reader users. We are also aware that the default HTML select does skip disabled options:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select#advanced_select_with_multiple_features

There is precedent for this behavior in drop down lists from other vendors:

https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/dropdown/examples#disabled

https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select/issues/3354

Other relevant discussions:

https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14190

Perhaps adding a simple [disabledItemsFocusable]="false" boolean (false by default for backwards compatibility) to the inputs could be a solution here.

Greetings

Related to this issue, when you use multiple groups, then the header of the first subgroup doesn't get rendered. This cascades down all sublevels.
Example: https://codesandbox.io/s/strange-benji-3m9d19?file=/src/app/app.component.ts 

As I was typing this up I also noticed that we don't have access to the field we're grouping on in the kendoDropDownListGroupTemplate (not exclusive to the DropDownList, all dropdown types have this problem).

It'd be great and a very minor change to enable this.
It's currently like this (line 103 inside common/list.component.ts in the source code): 

[templateContext]="{
    templateRef: groupTemplate.templateRef,
    $implicit: dataItem.value
}"

[templateContext]="{
    templateRef: groupTemplate.templateRef,
    $implicit: dataItem.value,
    field: dataItem.field
}"

Regards

I'm using the Kendo Angular DropDownList component and I'm facing a couple of accessibility issues.

I got two issues, the same as those I get in my own application using the DropDownList component.
I've attached the output for both issues below.

First issue and an explanation of the issue and its solutions can be seen in the first attachment.

Second issue and an explanation of the issue and its solutions can be seen in the sercond attachment.

Hi,

I have a list of objects whose text field may contain accented characters. For example: Raúl, Úrsula, José.

I'd like to keep the display of those names with their accents, but when applying the filter they should be treated as their non-accented counterpart.

So, if in the list there is a Raúl and a Raul, typing 'rau' in the filter both should appear.

An option in DropDownFilterSettings similar to the caseSensitive one would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Stefano

Is there any way to set error focus on the selected items in multi select component.
And after that, user can take immediate action to update the value, say auto Open the drop down dialog and go to the selected item.

The current design of the DropDownList is not in line with Bootstrap. The dark background is very "aggressive" and distracts the user in a large form.

The styling should match the bootstrap design (of course in the Bootstrap Theme) or there should be an option to switch between your current and the "official" bootstrap design. 

the value should be selected only by direct click on the option in the popup or with the enter or the tab keyboard button.

e.g.

- I open the options popup, I navigate with arrows and select a value A with enter.
- I reopen the options popup, I navigate with arrows until value B and I close the popup clicking away from it (or pressing Esc)

The selected value should be A, but it's B because the valueChanged event is fired anyway on the popup closing

There's currently no way to change the style of a dropdown button to match the other "looks" of a regular buttons like "bare", "outline", and "flat".  It is important for a row of buttons to have the same look and feel.  Please add "look" property to dropdown buttons.

1.) Use grouping functionality for the drop list's data.

2.) Have at least one item disabled. (Easiest to replicate if the first item is disabled)

3.) Click on dropdown to open the popup.

4.) If first item is disabled notice the group it belongs to is not displayed in the popup. If the first item isn't disabled scroll until disabled item is at the top of the list and the group information will be cleared.

Easily replicated if you modify the stackblitz from this page https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dropdowns/dropdownlist/grouping/ to disable the first item in the list

"Meat" should be displayed in that empty row at the top. Lines 12 and 26-28 are the only modifications made to the code found at the url above.

The desired feature is partially implemented for single selection only and with no functionality on the nested grid.We would like a multiselect DropDown box with searching functionality and when clicked to make a selection, a grid will be displayed with sorting, searching, pagination and filtering functionality.We strongly believe that this kind of functionality is necessary for enterprise grade applications with complex forms.
Thanks in advance.

Can we have the MultiColumnComboBox (already available in Kendo UI JQuery) in Angular 2+ please..

find below appcomponent.html code: <kendo-dropdownlist [defaultItem]="defaultYear"
 [data]="budgetYears"
[valueField]="budgetYears.value">
</kendo-dropdownlist>

and in appcomponent.ts file:
public budgetYears: Array<{ value: number }> = [
        { value: 2019 },
        { value: 2020 },
        { value: 2021 },
        { value: 2022 },
        { value: 2023 },
        { value: 2024 },
    ];

as mentioned above I have provided the mentioned codes but I am not getting the binded values. Instead of that I am getting [object Object]. Why it is so and where I am doing mistake. Please provide me a solution for this. Thanks
