Combobox Maxlength

[Joel]

In Kendo UI for Angular, how do you set maxlength for the input element?

Hello Joel,

The ComboBox component will respect a max length form validation (but currently there is no built-in support for restricting the user's input to a certain length).

To provide the DOM maxlength attribute on the actual INPUT element, used internally by the ComboBox, you will need to access it and add the attribute programmatically, e.g.:

public ngAfterViewInit() {
      this.combo.searchbar.input.nativeElement.setAttribute('maxlength', this.maxLength)
    }

Here is a sample implementation of the described approach:

I hope this helps.
