AutoComplete custom editor error after upgrade

[Andreas]

I'm upgrading from Kendo 2015 Q1 SP1 (2015.1.408) where my grid with AutoComplete editor works fine, but when upgrading to any of the later versions (ex:Q2 SP1) breaks the editor, throwing "Uncaught TypeError: e._preselect is not a function" when clicking on a grid cell with the custom editor.

http://dojo.telerik.com/epowu shows the broken version  (click on a "States" cell to see the exception and the placeholder text and not the correct value). 

http://dojo.telerik.com/oHIse works fine using an older version.

Did I miss some breaking change?

 

Thanks

Hello Andreas,

In Q2 2015 release of Kendo UI, we introduced a full support for deferred binding for ComboBox, DropDownList and MultiSelect widget when MVVM value binding is used.

The AutoComplete throws an exception in this case, because it does not support such deferred binding as it always works with "load on demand" filtering. You can avoid the reported error if you remove the autoBind: false option:

• http://dojo.telerik.com/avUCo

The widget does not support the autoBind option:

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/autocomplete#configuration

Thanks, Georgi! I had the same issue and removing the autoBind: false option fixed it. :-)
