Disable autocomplete selection for inactive record

[Zakir]

Hi,

Is it possible to disable auto complete selection event for inactive records only and on selection of inactive record, auto complete popup should not close?

Thank You

Hello Zakir,

Thank you for contacting us.

The desired functionality can be achieved only in token mode, using the OnClientDropDownClosing and OnClientEntryAdding events. Here's an example:

function OnClientEntryAdding(sender, args) {
    if (args.get_entry().get_text() === "Aniseed Syrup") {
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }
}

function OnClientDropDownClosing(sender, args) {
    if (sender._dropDown.get_activeItem().get_text() === "Aniseed Syrup") {
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }
}

Hope this was helfpul.

Regards,
