Combobox#search(): Avoid displaying list with options

[Micha]

Hello 

I've got a control that will set the value of the Combo using the search method. But, I don't want that the list with the options open. How can i supress this? 
I've tried setting highlightFirst or / and to false... but it didn't work.

Or is there another way to set the value of the field an forcing a refresh of the data from the datasource (paging... it might be, that the value is not on the first page)

Thanks for your response
Micha

Hello Micha,

 
Calling refresh() method of the combobox cause opening of the drop-down, which is a known issue. I am glad to inform you that we already fixed it and the fix will be available with the official release of the KendoUI.

Kind regards,
