Read Data before autocomplete widget opens

[Yifan]

Hi, 

 

I'm wondering how can I read get the data from datasource before user click on the autocomplete widget. I have the following code:

 

 var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({
            transport: {
                read: {
                    url: "../IndividualData/SalesPerson",
                    dataType: "json",
                    data: this.requestData()

                }
            },
            schema: { data: "data", total: "total" },
            pageSize: 50
        })
        this.autocomplete.setDataSource(ds);
        console.log(this.autocomplete.dataSource);

 

But it seems like I'm always getting empty datasource for  some reason. Can anyone help me?

 

Regards,

Hi Yifan,

Here's a dojo example, which shows how the data can be read before any user interaction with the widget, by calling the dataSource's read() method.
