Hi,
I want to have a filterable combo box, using combo.enableFilteringMode(‘between’);
When an item is selected and you open the popup only the item(s) matching the selected text are visible. To get all the items I reset the filter, as seen on many threads in this forum. But this also destroys the selection. So the combobox popup does not scroll to the selected item and the line is not selected any more.
Does anyone have got a better solution to reset the filter and keep the selection.
Here is my complete test case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dhtmlx/dhtmlx.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dhtmlx/dhtmlx.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function initCombo(){
var combo = dhtmlXComboFromSelect("combo");
combo.setOptionHeight(200);
combo.enableFilteringMode('between');
combo.attachEvent("onOpen",function(){
var text = combo.getComboText();
window.setTimeout(function(){
combo.setComboText("");
combo.filterSelf();
combo.setComboText(text); // restores the text, but destroys the selectitem in the popup
},1)
})
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initCombo()">
