Hi,
I'm trying to implement search feature using ultracombo. I'll bind the data after user type in something and hit enter. The issue that I'm having right now, how do I prevent the display text being updated when user clicking on dropdown items?
Thanks.
Since the title of this article includes the word "multiselect", I assume you want to allow the user to click on multiple items to select them, then commit that selection when the enter key is pressed. The control does provide this functionality, but you can't select multiple items - you can show checkboxes and configure the control so that the user can check items and not cause the dropdown to close when they do. The help topic for the CheckedListSettings property goes into more detail about this.
Thanks Brian.
Sorry for the confusion. And yes, the "multiselect" I was referring to was the ability to check multiple items from the dropdown.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I need to allow the user to do a simple query by typing one or more words on the UltraCombo. When user press enter, I'll run the query and bind the result set to UltraCombo. At this point, I need to show the dropdown and let user check one or more items from the list. The problem is that when I check an item from the dropdown, the UltraCombo display text is immediately replaced with the item I just checked. i need to be able to keep display text on the UltraCombo.
