MultiSelectFilter with autocomplete?

Webix JS
#1

Is it possible to have autocomplete function with multi-select or rich-select filter in a datatable? That would be really useful.

Thanks!

Hi,

multiComboFilter is not mentioned in our docs, we’ll fix it. For now, please check the following sample: http://docs.webix.com/samples/60_pro/01_datatable/03_filters/08_filter_multicombo.html

Also, it is possible to extend an existing filter or create a custom one. Details are described here.

Well, it looks pretty well but it is no possible to remove selected choices with the keyboard as we can do in MultiCombo form: http://docs.webix.com/samples/60_pro/02_form/06_multicombo.html

It can be easily configured with the help of a tagMode setting: http://webix.com/snippet/6666ecb4.

But switching off tagMode is preferable as input field can be too small for all the chosen options.

#5

tagMode might be useful but I was referring to the fact of removing selected choices while writing with the keyboard (pressing backspace key). Is it possible?

Thanks again!

In tagMode choices are removed with the backspace key automatically. With the default filter you can attach onKeyPress event to an input: http://webix.com/snippet/49ba7ba4

Thanks! onKeyPress event allows me to customize the behaviour, is perfect.

Anyway, in my system (Chrome, Linux) backspace do not work automatically when tagMode is true.
