Combo drop down

Webix JS

Hi,
Just wondering if it’s possible to configure the combo to only show the dropdown if the user clicks on the down arrow on the right hand side? It currently opens if the user clicks anywhere…

THANKS!

There is no way to change the current behavior ( you can subclass combo and create a custom control with your own behavior though )

Can you share why the current behavior is not good for your use-case ? We may add the option for “click on arrow” behavior, but so far I don’t see how it better than the current behavior.

Hi,

Ok - found out I can do this by extending Combo and overriding afterRender to do nothing:
afterRender: function() {}

The reason for this is that currently, every time you click on a combo cell, the dropdown appears - and users find it annoying :slight_smile: They want the dropdown to appear only when chosen, not by default.

You mention that you can add the “click on arrow” behaviour. How would I do this?
I notice that the combos that appear in the grid are different to others in that the arrow doesn’t appear. How do I get it to appear?

THANKS!
