Virtualization
Virtual scrolling provides an alternative to paging and is useful for displaying large sets of data.
The virtualization functionality uses a fixed amount of list items in the pop-up list of the component. While the user is scrolling the pop-up list, the ComboBox requests and displays only the visible items.
To enable virtualization, configure the onPageChange
event and the composite virtual
property which contains the following fields:
total
—Represents the number of records.skip
—Represents the start of the sub-set of data which is loaded in the ComboBox.pageSize
—Indicates the size of the sub-set of data.onPageChange
—Provides the data for each page through theonPageChange
event handler.
- In order for the virtualization to work properly, the items in the popup list must have the same height. If the content of an item does not fit in a single row, the height of this item will be different from the height of the other items.
- You also need to make sure that the
pageSize
value is at least equal to the number of the visible pop-up items plus two.
Basic Configuration
The following example demonstrates how to set the virtualization of the ComboBox.
Virtualization with Filtering
If you use virtualization in your project alongside filtering, scrolling will be reset every time the value of the filter input is changed.
Virtualization with Grouping
The below example shows how we can use the ComboBox in a scenario with Grouping and Virtualization.
