[Solved] open MultiSelect on tab focus

[Darren]

Is there a good way to trigger the multiselect open event when you tab into the control from a previous input. Currently it does open when you click on the element or if you tab into it and type or press the down key. However i would like to trigger the open even on focus. I have tried the following just to log the event however it does not seem to trigger the focus event until i start to type. 

$("select[data-role=multiselect]").each(function () {
    var widget = $(this).getKendoMultiSelect();
    widget.input.on("focus", function () {
        console.log(this);
    });
});

Hello Darren,

You can call the MultiSelect's open API method in the focus event handler. This way the widget's popup gets open on tabbing from an input into the MultiSelect. Here's a dojo example.

Thanks Ivan, 

Wrapping my function in $(document).ready() made it work.
