Lazy loading combobox

[EpicycleParticipant]

Hello,

is it possible to configure the combobox so it binds the data on the first time its beeing opened?
I am using a json data adapter as remote source.

Best regards

Hi Epicycle,

You can take a look at this example: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxcombobox/remotesearch.htm?arctic

Thanks Peter,

does this mean there is no inbuild way to do this? Like a parameter or something lazy:true?
The example shows an empty dropdown as long as there is no search text provided.
I was looking for a way to delay the databinding until its needed i.e. someone is trying to open it for the first time.
So if i got that right, correct me if i am wrong, i have to set remoteAutoComplete to true and implement the logic by myself (like load the data only if it hasnt been loaded before, observe the click/focus events etc?).

Best regards

Hi Epicycle,

The functionality which you see on this sample is built-in. The data is loaded on demand when the user searches. I don’t see any code for handling click, focus or other events in our example.
