ComboBox open state by default

[Shivali]

I have a scenario where I want to keep the the comboBox popup always opened. Is there way to do it? I dont want to have any event for close or open, it should just always remain opened.

Hello Shivali,

In order to keep the Kendo UI ComboBox popup open always, use the preventDefault method in the close event. To open the popup when the page load, you can use the toggle method. For example:

<kendo-combobox #combobox [data]="listItems" (close)="close($event)">
</kendo-combobox>

@ViewChild("combobox", {static: false}) public combobox;

ngAfterViewInit() {
  this.combobox.toggle();
}

close(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
}

In this StackBlitz example, the Kendo UI ComboBox popup opens when the page loads and always remains open.

Please let me know if this helps or if I can further assist you.
