[Solved] How can I enable and disable a drop down list item in a list?

[Devna]

Hi,
I have a dropdown list of say

-Save
-Open
-List1
-List2
-List2
- Exit

At my initial display of the list, I want only "Open" and "Exit" to be enabled for the user to select. Rest of the List items should be disabled for the user to select. Also, the Drop down should be enabled to see the options available.

How can I achieve configuring the list items as enabled and disabled at runtime?

Thanks and Regards
Devna

Hello Devna,

Currently, Kendo UI DropDownList widget does not support disabling items. One possible workaround is to hide the items that are disabled by removing the corresponding data item from widget's data source. Check this demo for a better understanding.
