It takes lot of time for rending thousands of records from client side, some times browse gets crashed, causes performance issue. Virtualization support will help us to overcome this issue, as the same provided in Angular 1.x and Kendo MVC controls. Can you please provide virtualization support for Autocomplete & Multi Select controls.

The normal DropDown with its feautures would allow do multiselect its items or if the standard Multiselect would allow to avoid the linebreaks. A possible solution would be to add only one label with the text of the selected Items and an ellipsis when there get selected too many items to show all text, then you show the text hole text in the tooltip.

Please add the colour picker component as per current jQuery widget.

The dropdowns should provide an easy way to have certain items in the list as inactive. The easiest way could be an attribute. In addition to [textField] and [valueField] an [inactiveField] could be added.

If the assigned data field is a boolean the item in the list can be either enabled or disabled.

Reason for this request is, that those value lists often are dynamic, meaning that an item in the list could be superseded by a new one. But the existing records in the database still could reference the older item, but new records should be prevented from selecting the new item.

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

It would be nice to be able to organize the content of dropdown list in categories, link car models organized by brand or cities organized by state or country.

It would be good to have an option for clear "X" or whatever on the DropDownList. This is already on the ComboBox but not on the DropDownList. I can see the argument that having a blank option as the first option in the popover would work but that requires the user to open the popover and click a blank entry and forces all lists to have a blank item. 

I'm currently getting around this by wrapping the kendo component in my own component and using css to put a clear button on the kendo control. However, there is no public access to the needed functions to clear the control and have the angular zone update when in an on push state (Not sure about normal change detection strategy but I only use on push so...). Right now I have to cast the component to type any and then use the private functions on the component. See below. Access to either the proper method to do what I'm doing or adding a native clear would be really great. Really for all controls. I would be happy with just the access to the proper functions as it allows me to customize when and how the clear shows. 

this is what I'm doing for now that gets what I want. 

        this.dropDownList.reset();
        const dropdown = this.dropDownList as any;
        dropdown.valueSubject.next(undefined);

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

Can we update the dropdownlist control to allow for a filter region template. This will allow, so that a custom component can be placed where the filter box is.

 

The use case that we have is to have our common input component, which has all the application styles pre-applied, be used for filtering. We can currently do this for grid component's filtering. But unlike grid filters, kendo dropdownlist does not allow for a template for the search region. This would be a good feature and consistent with other controls in the kendo library.

The current [maxlength] property just sets a control as Invalid if maxlength is exceeded.  But I'd prefer an option to just limit the number of characters the end user can enter, much like the maxlength property of <input>.  This should apply to all Kendo controls where user can type in text.

Please provide a filed or other public property that allows to track the currently focused item for the DropDowns.

Thank you

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

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,

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

 

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.

Could you provide an option for the DropDownList to behave like a carousel in mobile devices (as demonstrated in the following screenshot):



Thank you

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.

I have a usecase where the initial selected item is no longer present in the choices.
With the current behavior, the initial value is not displayed and the dropdown is empty.
Would it be possible to display the initial value with a 'disabled' css class in the dropdown?

Same for multiselects, 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.

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?
