Lazy Loading

[Boone]

We want to have a drop down of 'equipment types'. This is a fairly big list so we would like to lazy load it. The issue we are having is if we do lazy load you can't restrict what they type.

Is there some kind of work around to get AllowCustomText =false with load on demand?

Hi Boone,

You can achieve this by handling the client-side Load event of the RadComboBox as shown below:

function onLoad(sender) {
    sender.get_inputDomElement().readOnly = "readonly";
}

That removes a key piece of functionality though. We still want the google like suggestions that show up.

If we have a list of chevy, ford, gmc, dodge and type ch in the drop down, the chevy should be the only one in the list.
