Select Listview item by text

[Katie]

How do I select an item in my listview by the text displayed?

Hi, Katie,

You can use the dataItems() method to retrieve all listView models. Then you can filter them by a particular field and select only the ones that match the criteria.

      	$("#select").on("click", function() {
          let listView = $("#listView").data("kendoListView");
          let products = ["Chai", "Ikura"];
          
          let items = listView.dataItems().filter(function(i) {
            return products.indexOf(i.ProductName) !== -1;
          });
          
          items.forEach(function(x) {
            let element = listView.element.find("[data-uid="+x.uid+"]");
            listView.select(element);
          });
        });
