Auto-expand comboboxes

Morten_Meisler

Hey,

Does anyone have some js snippet on how to auto-expand comboboxes (like status, support group etc). At the moment we have to double-click/click the expander, I would like to have it unboxes at default.

Thank you

Something like this:

var fldAssignee = $("input[name='AssignedWorkItem']").data("kendoAutoComplete");

// Force the list open
fldAssignee.search();

These controls are Telerik Kendo UI widgets, so their documentation is particularly helpful when trying to figure out how to do something like this.

Cool thanks, I was looking for auto-expand on their documentation site (it helped me before with some CI filter), but didn't know Search() was the one

That is understandable.  The same methods/events/properties have different names on some of the different controls, and there are also duplicates (and seemingly duplicated but with subtle differences) to make things even more confusing.  It takes a lot of trial and error to figure these out, even while staring at the documentation.  Add to that the fact that this product has some customized versions of a few controls, and it can definitely be tricky.
