The DropDownTree doesn't have FitInInput functionality, so what would be the way to create this functionality?
I've tried things like updating the text using `OnClientEntryAdded` and `set_defaultMessage()` but once that function has run in my JavaScript, the original text items that were selected just show back up.
What do I need to do?
Hi Russell,
This "FitInInput" functionality you mentioned does not seem to be popular. Can you share more details about this functionality and describe to us how it should work?
Can you share an example using any element that this works with, so we can try it out and understand how it works?
The docs explain this:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/combobox/functionality/checkbox-support#checkbox-support-related-properties
CheckedItemsTexts—receives two predefined values:
FitInInput - default value. When this value is set and the text of the checked items exceeds the width of the input, it is replaced by
"X items checked".DisplayAllInInput—the text of all checked items is displayed in the input of the RadComboBox.
Hi Russel,
Thanks for clarifying it. Apparently, I did not remember about this functionality.
Regarding the DropDownTree, it has its own way of hiding the excess text, see CheckAll and Clear Buttons
Is this what you are looking for, or would like to display all the text without limitations?
FitInInput - default value. When this value is set and the text of the checked items exceeds the width of the input, it is replaced by
"X items checked".I understand. This functionality is beyond DropDownTree's capabilities.
Currently, the DropDownTree will display as much text as it can for the size of the input, and everything else will be cut off as seen on the picture.
