DropDownList Floating Label

[Pedro Faria]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a DropDownList with a floating label like the normal inputs have.

I found floatLabelType attribute on the ejs-dropdownlist tag helper, but I don't know what to do with it.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Hi Pedro,   

   

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.   

   

You can add placeholder for DropDownList using “placeholder” property . “floatLabelType” specifies, whether to show the placeholder on above the input element and the default value is “Never” Please refer to the below document for more details.   

   

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/16.1.24/angular/documentation/drop-down-list/api-dropDownListComponent.html#floatlabeltype   

   

Please refer to the below code to use floatLabelType in Asp.Net Core.    

   

     <ejs-dropdownlist id="games" dataSource="@ViewBag.data" placeholder="Select a game" index="2" popupHeight="220px"change="valueChange" floatLabelType= “FloatLabelType.Always”>   

                    <e-dropdownlist-fields text="Game" value="Id"></e-dropdownlist-fields>   

       </ejs-dropdownlist>

Hi, I tried to use floatLabelType= “FloatLabelType.Always” but it didn't work, the tag helper is expecting an object, not a string.

Can you send me an working example?

Thanks

I have the same problem , As of May 17th and I am on service pack 16.1.0.37, dated Apr. 24, 2018.  DropDownList.FloatLabelType is still not recognized as a type.

Thanks,

Scott
