[Solved] Display selected item and other items as well

[Adam Plattner]

The default behavior of combox with on demand feature is when user selects an item for list, and it saves into database. Then when the page reloads or redisplays, it displays as 1 of 1 record. Without remove the item, the other items won’t display. We would like the combox to behavior more like regular list box which selects the item and also list the other records. Without remove the selection, user should able to use on demand feature to fetch more items. Can this be done?

Hi Adam Plattner,

You can subscribe to the OnClientDropDownOpened event of the combobox and invoke the requestItems method of the combo:

function onClientDropDownOpened(sender, e) {
  sender.requestItems("", false);
}

This will trigger the ItemsRequested server event (having e.Text = empty string) so all the items will be shown.

Let me know if this helps.
