Hi Aruna,

Тhank you for the provided screenshot.

Currently, there isn't such a built-in feature that can be used out-of-the-box for the DropDowns. Instead, some solutions based on custom JavaScript logic should be implemented. You may check the following article extracted from StackOverflow suggesting such an approach:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8644428/how-to-highlight-text-using-javascript

Basically, what they suggest is to change the innerHTML of the elements that should support the highlighting functionality. Please check the following example with the AutoComplete:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-fc14xj?file=app/app.component.ts

A similar approach can be achieved with the rest of the Kendo DropDowns components.

I would like to add that the suggested approach isn't based on a built-in or supported feature of Kendo UI for Angular and thus it should be used at the developer's own discretion.

Regards,

Love the Telerik and Kendo UI products and believe more people should try them? Invite a fellow developer to become a Progress customer and each of you can get a $50 Amazon gift voucher.
