Controlling the Open State
The MultiSelect enables you to control the open and close state of its options list.
To set the state of the list:
You can also retrieve the current open state of the options list by using the isOpen
getter.
Setting the Initially Opened Component
You can enable the user to manually toggle between the open and close state of the options list by setting the toggle
method. If set to true
, the method defines that the options list is open. If set to false
, the method defines that the options list is closed.
The following example demonstrates how to configure an initially opened MultiSelect.
Preventing Opening and Closing
The open
and close
events are emitted right before the options list is about to open or close. To prevent the corresponding action, call the preventDefault
method of the event argument.
Keeping the Options List Open while on Focus
You can configure the MultiSelect to remain open until the user finishes selecting items from its options list. To prevent the options list from closing while it is still on focus, set the autoClose
property to false
. By default, autoClose
is set to true
.
When
autoClose
is set tofalse
, the entered filter text will not be cleared until the component is blurred.
