We have data bound to a combox, all is working fine. When the user clicks the dropdown the list of items appears and is showing data assigned by the template  -> template: "#=FirstName # #=LastName #,  #=CompanyName #",
        
However, once the user selects something the datatextfield is shown, where as we want the same template shown. How can we do this?

Thanks - here is our code.


 $(this).kendoComboBox({
                placeholder: "Select A Client...",
                //dataTextField: 'LastName',
                dataValueField: 'ContactID',
                template: "#=FirstName # #=LastName #,  #=CompanyName #",
                filter: "contains",
                autoBind: false,
                minLength: 3,
                text: $(this).attr('data-text'),
                dataSource: {
                    type: "odata",
                    serverFiltering: true,
                    serverPaging: true,
                    page: 1,
                      pageSize: 50,                    
                    sort: { field: "Name", dir: "asc" },
                    filter: filter,
                    transport: {
                        read: {
                            url: "/ajax/comboContactFilter.json",
                        }
                    }
                }
            });

Hello Emily,

There are two options to accomplish this task. The first one is to create a third property on the server and directly use it on the client. It will be the fastest way to achieve this. The second approach is to use parse method of the data source and create calculated field on the client side. Here is a jsBin demo showing how the second approach is implemented.

Hello,

This is my code for server side traitment :

while($obj = mysql_fetch_object($rs)) {
    $arr[] = $obj;
}

foreach($arr as $row) {
    $row->completename = $row->firstname." ".$row->lastname;
}
