Multi-column combobox possible

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

Hello, is it possible to use multiple columns in a combobox?



e.g. showing a list of contacts (name, address, city)



#2

There is no native support for multiple columns in combo, but it allows to use any HTML as options text - so it possible to mimic necessary behavior.
Please check attached sample.

Just out of interest. If I was to populate a combo with a table structure, would the user still be able to use features like filter and auto complete?

#4

No, filter and auto complete won’t be possible

#5

OK, thanks for the reply.

Does anyone know if a ‘true’ multi-column combo with all the features is in the pipeline?

#6

Hi,

could you explain how to use any HTML as options text?

Thanks,

Hi, vangeloni
Do you mean building combo via HTML (from select: dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dht … _init.html) or using HTML tags in options?

#8

Hi,

I mean custom HTML in option item, for example using a custom render if it is possible.

What way do you load combo? XML? Json?

#10

Could you provide sample for both?

Ok
From select box

<option value="1"><div className="myClass">a00</option>

From XML:

<option value="One" id="0_1"><![CDATA[<div title='tooltip1'><div style="left: 0; display: inline-block"><img src=../___img/settings.gif></div><div style="left: 2px; display: inline-block">One</div></div>]]></option>

From Javascript

combo.addOption("1","<div className="myClass">a00</option>");
