    Hello.

    I am looking for a way to make a jqxComboBox show its items w/o the user having to hover over it.

    Is there a way to accomplish this? How?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello jqwidgetsdev,

    You can use ‘open’ method to show the popup listbox. Here is an example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/demos.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxcore.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxdata.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxlistbox.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxcombobox.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id='content'>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {
                var url = "../sampledata/customers.txt";
                // prepare the data
                var source =
                {
                    datatype: "json",
                    datafields: [
                        { name: 'CompanyName' },
                        { name: 'ContactName' }
                    ],
                    url: url,
                    async: false
                };
                var dataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(source);
                // Create a jqxComboBox
                $("#jqxWidget").jqxComboBox({ selectedIndex: 0, source: dataAdapter, displayMember: "ContactName", valueMember: "CompanyName", width: 200, height: 25 });
                // trigger the select event.
                $("#jqxWidget").on('select', function (event) {
                    if (event.args) {
                        var item = event.args.item;
                        if (item) {
                            var valueelement = $("<div></div>");
                            valueelement.text("Value: " + item.value);
                            var labelelement = $("<div></div>");
                            labelelement.text("Label: " + item.label);
                            $("#selectionlog").children().remove();
                            $("#selectionlog").append(labelelement);
                            $("#selectionlog").append(valueelement);
                        }
                    }
                });
                $("#jqxWidget").jqxComboBox('open');
            });
        </script>
        <div id='jqxWidget'>
        </div>
        <div style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana;" id="selectionlog"></div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
