Description

The jQuery ComboBox enables users to add a new item to the dataSource of the component when the search results do not match their filtering conditions.

This ComboBox example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of jQuery demos, with which you can see all Kendo UI for jQuery components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit them and their theme appearance in Kendo UI for jQuery Dojo or ThemeBuilder.
