Selection Mode

Updated on Aug 24, 2026

The ChipList provides options for setting its selection mode that will either prevent selecting the Chip items, allow selecting only one Chip item at a time, or allow selecting them all at the same time.

This option can be controlled through the Selectable property. The available options are:

None (default)
Single
Multiple

None Selection

The None selection mode disables the Chip selection.

"ChipList Selection Mode None"

Example

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadChipList runat="server" Selectable="None">
    <Items>
        <telerik:ChipListItem Label="Chip 1"  />
        <telerik:ChipListItem Label="Chip 2"  />
        <telerik:ChipListItem Label="Chip 3"  />
    </Items>
</telerik:RadChipList>

Single Selection

The Single selection mode enables selection for only one Chip at a time.

       <telerik:ChipListItem Label="Chip 3"  />
