Getting Started

jqxComboBox represents a jQuery combobox widget that contains an input field with auto-complete functionality and a list of selectable items displayed in a drop-down.
Every UI widget from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and css dependencies to your project. The jqxComboBox widget requires the following files:

The next step is to create a div element within the body of the html document.
The last step is to initialize the widget by adding the following script to the html document:
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxComboBox’s constructor.

$("#jqxcombobox").jqxComboBox(‘selectIndex’, 1);
    

To get the result of a function(method) call, you need to pass the method name in the jqxComboBox’s constructor.

$("#jqxcombobox").jqxComboBox(‘getSelectedIndex’);
    

To set a property(option), you need to pass the property name and value(s) in the jqxComboBox's constructor.

$("#jqxcombobox").jqxComboBox({ selectedIndex: 2 });
    

To get a property(option), you need to pass the property name to the jqxComboBox's constructor.

var index = $("#jqxcombobox").jqxComboBox('selectedIndex');
    

To bind to an event of a UI widget, you can use basic jQuery syntax. Let’s suppose that you want to get the selected item when the user clicks. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to the ‘select’ event of jqxComboBox.

$('#jqxComboBox').on('select', function (event) {
    var args = event.args;
    var item = $('#jqxComboBox').jqxComboBox('getItem', args.index);
});
