Autocomplete data-role...and Focusout

[tram]

Hi All,

I am new to Kendo, can you please help me with the below scenario.

In the current scenario, when I enter 3 letters, the call is going to the database, but I want to call database only when I focus out of the textbox , I don't want to call database after 3 letters. how to achieve this, below is my code block.

 

(function ($, kendo, undefined) {
var templates = {
description:
'<input data-role="autocomplete" type="text" data-text-field="description" data-filter="contains" data-min-length="3" data-bind="source: colors, value: autoCompleteValue/>'
};

var seceditor = Widget.extend(
options: {
columns: [
  { 
    template: kendo.template(templates.description)
  }
]
});
ui.plugin(seceditor );
})(jQuery, window.kendo);

 

Thanks,

Tram

Hi Tram,

The behavior you are after is not supported by the AutoComplete. The problem with it is that to prevent the request to the server from being sent when typing text you will have to prevent the filtering event. However, it is tied to showing the results in the dropdown, so preventing it and sending the request on focusout will lead to the popup not opening.
