Event when text is manually removed from ComboBox

[Carrie]

Hello,

I am implementing a ComboBox and I need to do something when the user manually removes the text from the ComboBox.  

Can you help me figure out the appropriate event if there is one?

I have tried using the change event (code below) but it is not fired when the user manually removes text.

Thanks,
Carrie

change: function (e) {
      if (this.select() < 0) {
         //do something here
      }
  }

Hello Carrie,


A short way to achieve this would be to bind the keyup event of the input of the ComboBox and check if the value is empty.
E.g.

var combo = $("#combobox").data("kendoComboBox");

combo.input.on("keyup", function (e) {
    if (this.value == "") {
        alert("text deleted");
    }
});
