About this example ASPXRazor

This example shows how to use the client-side API of Telerik ComboBox for ASP.NET MVC and Telerik DropDownList for ASP.NET MVC.

To use the client-side API you should first retrieve the combobox/dropdownlist client-side object. The following code snippet shows how to do this for the combobox: 

<script type="text/javascript">
function getComboBox(){
    //"ComboBox" is the value specified by the Name() method.
    var combobox = $("#ComboBox").data("tComboBox");
    return combobox;
}
</script>

Available client-side methods:

  • You can open suggestion list with the open() method.
  • You can close suggestion list with the close() method.
  • You can select an item with the select(...). This method accepts a DOM element representing an existing item of the suggestion list, jQuery selector.
  • You can get value of the selected item value(). This method can be use also for setting value.
  • You can enable ComboBox or DropDownlist with the enable() method.
  • You can disable ComboBox or DropDownlist with the disable() method.
