Clear ComboBox programmatically

[Michael]

Is it possible to trigger the clear button on a ComboBox?

I'm using $("#ComboBox").data("kendoComboBox").text(''); and $("#ComboBox").data("kendoComboBox").select(-1); to "clear" the input, but the X button is still present when you hover over the input.

Thanks

Figured it out..

$("#ComboBox").data("kendoComboBox").select(-1);
$("#ComboBox").data("kendoComboBox").refresh();

Hello Michael,

The widget's clear button should not be displayed when there is not item selected, so we logged this behavior for fixing. The bug's status can be tracked through this issue on our public Github repo.

Thank you for reporting it. I updated your Telerik points.
