Load data when control is hidden

[Krzysztof]

Hi,

I use Cascading DropDownList (with data from service) on my page. Control is default hidden(in div with style="display:none"), and becomes visible on click to proper button.

It is possible to load data on page load? By default data were loaded when control becomes visible..

Thanks

Hello Krzysztof,

You may force data loading by calling the read method of the DropDownList's dataSource.

$("#yourDropDown").data("kendoDropDownList").dataSource.read();
