Data Binding
The MultiColumnComboBox enables you to bind it to a list of possible values.
The list can contain objects only. To use an array of primitive values, use the ComboBox.
Fields Configuration
To bind the component to object data, define the textField and valueField properties. The MultiColumnComboBox will extract the value and text values from the selected data item and in this way will set the selected value and text.
To define the popup table content, define a kendo-combobox-column for each desired column. For more information on all available column options, refer to the dedicated article on columns.
Even though the MultiColumnComboBox is bound to object data, it can still produce primitive values on value change. For more information, refer to the article on value binding.
Binding to Local Data
The following example demonstrates how to bind the MultiColumnComboBox to an array of local object values.
Binding to Remote Data
The MultiColumnComboBox can also be bound to remote data. To indicate an ongoing loading operation, you can display a loading indicator by setting the loading property to true.
The following example demonstrates how to bind the MultiColumnComboBox to remote data by using a service.
