[Solved] Can we auto pop open combobox cell editor when cell goes into edit

[Peter]

Hi, I have a combo box as a cell editor (see attached)

Is there a way to open pop open the combo popup as soon as the editor goes into edit mode (either by the user using Tab to arrive, there, or by clicking on the cell)

Thanks in advance for any help
regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

Yes, this can be done by subscribing to the Grid's edit event. Once the event is trigger you can try finding a ComboBox instance inside the cell and eventually, call its open method. For example: 

$scope.gridOptions = {
  edit: function(e){
      var cb = e.container.find("[data-role='combobox']").getKendoComboBox();
      if(cb){
          cb.open();
      }
  },
