Pasting in combo box is not filtering the options

[Shubha Singh]

when we are typing in the combo Box, it is filtering correctly, but when we are pasting the text using "control" + V or by mouse right click and paste, then the options are not filtered.

Hello Shubha Singh,

The ComboBox filtering is turned off by default. In order filter the values when pasting text via "Ctrl + V", I suggest setting an appropriate filter:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/combobox#configuration-filter

By design, filtering is performed when the keydown event is fired. When the value is pasted with the mouse, the event is not triggered, that's why the filtering is not working. This scenario is not supported, and I am afraid that there is no feasible workaround that I can offer. 

On a side note, in order to be able to work with "Kendo UI Complete" and benefit from our support service, your account must be associated with an active license or a trial. Your applicable commercial license expired on October 16, 2015.

If your company has spare licenses, please ask the license holder to assign your account as a licensed developer, as explained in "How do I assign developers to the purchased licenses?".

I was able to resolve this problem by adding an event handler to the paste event and having the paste event trigger a keydown event on the input box, here's the code:

 

var ac = input.kendoComboBox({..}).data("kendoComboBox");

      ac.input.on("paste", function() {
        ac.input.trigger("keydown");
      });

@Bailey, Can you please post an example of how you did it.

I have a combobox $("#CompanyId").data("kendoComboBox"). How do I add event handler to this one? Appreciate your response
