bindingComplete not firing

[joepacelliParticipant]

I’m loading a DropDownList from my C# MVC model

// Send up the Data Sources
               var mydata = '@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(@Model.Organizations))';
               var facilitySource =
               {
                   dataType: "json",
                   dataFields: [
                       { name: 'ShortName', type: 'string' },
                       { name: 'OrgNbr', type: 'string' }
                   ],
                   async: false,
                   localdata: mydata
               };

               //Sent up the Data Adapters
               var facilityAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(facilitySource, {
                   loadComplete: function() {
                       alert('Loaded');
                   }
               });

 $("#orgs").jqxDropDownList(
           {
               theme: 'energyblue',
               source: facilityAdapter,
               width: 300,
               height: 25,
               promptText: "Select org...",
               displayMember: 'ShortName',
               valueMember: 'OrgNbr'
           });

 $("#orgs").on('bindingComplete', function (event) {
               alert('Binding Complete');
           });

After the data is loaded into the Dropdownlist I need to select the default item based on the valueMember.
The loaded event fires but the data is not in the DropdownList yet so I can’t set it here
The bindingComplete event never fires.

I had this code in bindingComplete. This was working fine when I was not using the localdata
and returning a jsonResult.

if (orgNbr != "") {
     var item = $("#orgs").jqxDropDownList('getItemByValue', orgNbr);
     $("#orgs").jqxDropDownList('selectIndex', item.index);

How do I set the default value in the DropDownList if bindingComplete never fires?

Hello joepacelli,

You have to bind to the bindingComplete event before the initialization of the jqxDropDownList, not after that. That is because, when you bind to the event after the widget’s initialization, the binding is already completed.
