Disabling of item

  

Hi Thierry, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

Query : Is it possible to disable item of multi select depending on any condition?  

Currently we don’t have any direct properties or method to disable a particular item in MultiSelect. However, you can achieve your requirement by adding css through a class for particular item through open event as shown below 

CSS: 

We have prepared a sample for your reference . Please refer to the below given link

Query :  I've found maximumSelectionLength which disables items but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. 

Yes, maximumSelectionLength will disable the rest of items in MultiSelect when the selection limit  has been reached. Please refer to the below given UG link

Hi Goutham, 

Thank you for your update. 

Based on your requirement, we can use the select event to get the selected list item and check whether the selected item contains the class ‘e-hide’. Then based on that condition we can prevent the item from being selected by setting args.cancel as true. This way the item will not be selected for both keyboard and mouse interactions. Kindly refer to the following code snippet. 

onSelect(args: SelectEventArgs){      if (args.item.classList.contains('e-hide')) {          args.cancel = true;      }  }

 

We have attached a sample for your reference, please find the sample at the following location.

Hi Goutham, 

 

Our DropDownList component open event is triggered when the popup element is opened. Please check the API Link. 

 

API Link: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/api/drop-down-list#open 

 

You can achieve the requirement only by the adding ‘e-hide’ class in open event and disable the item in select event. Select event triggers only when the item has been selected. We have considered this as feature at our end. You can track the status of this feature by using below feedback portal.
