Prevent popup close on scrolling.

[Taras]

Need to prevent closing dropdown popup, when user scrolls the page. 

Movie to explain the issue. https://drive.google.com/a/productiveedge.com/file/d/0Bzruk8_x7z70TnFaNVdxYXpiSzg/edit

 In fact, dropdown should be closed only by user click on opened autocomplete again.

Result should be like the dropdowns on this page. http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_dropdowns.asp

Thanks in advance.

Hi Taras,

Closing the drop down when you click on another element on the page is the expected behavior. Nevertheless, if you need to prevent this you can handle the "close" event of the widget and determine whether or not to prevent the closing. Since you want to close the drop down when you select an item, you can use a global boolean variable and change its value within the "change" event as demonstrated in the following dojo example:

Konstantin's reply does not address the issue Taras brought up, which is that scrolling, not clicking, causes the autocomplete list to close. Also, I think this is a duplicate issue of https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-prevent-popup-close-on-scroll. Please see reply over on that thread.
