[Solved] Possible to prevent keyboard selection of dropdownlist values?

[John]

Hi,

I would like to prevent the user from changing the selected value of a dropdown list unless the shift key is pressed along with the arrow. Although I can hook a function to the keydown event of the .k-dropdown.k-widget this function is only called after the value has already been changed by the keydown event.

Is there a way to prevent this behaviour or get kendo to call my function earlier?

Regards

Hello John,

The change event cannot be prevented. What you can do is to cache the old value and if needed to revert the widget value to the old one using its value method.
