Is there a way to limit the choices to only those in the list?

In other words, make the input box portion not editable, and force the input to be one of the items in the list.

Hi pallen,

1. You are describing exactly the functionality of the jqxDropDownList widget. It is very similar to the jqxComboBox, but the input box portion is not editable.

2. You can also disable the ComboBox input field:

 $("#jqxWidget").find('.jqx-combobox-input')[0].disabled = true;

Hi Peter,

I guess in my first post I should have been more clear about what I’m after. Since my list of items is big (100-200) I’d like to have the nice keystroke filtering that the combobox provides, but in a DropDownList.

Hi Pete,

If I understand, you need something like:

– typing when a DropDownList’s popup is opened or in focus, finds an item and highlights it, i.e ComboBox functionality without a specific input field area?

Looking forward to your reply.
