An editable DataFormDropDownEditor

[Soon Hua Khor]

Hi,

May i know is that possible to make the DataFormDropDownEditor editable?

I understand that it is actually loaded with the SfComboBox but i can't find the IsEditableMode properties in DataFormDropDownEditor. I would like to allow user to enter keyword with suggestion(s) displayed. It will be tedious if user has to scroll through the long list to find a specific item.

Thank you.

Regards,

Soon Hua

Hi Soon, 

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

  

We have analyzed the reported query “Is it possible to edit DataFormDropDownItem’s editor?” as of now DataForm does not have support to edit DropDownItem’s editor. Your requirement can be achieved by using theCustomEditor inheriting DataFormDropDownEditor class, and in OnInitializeView() method set IsEditableMode. Kindly refer our UG documentation to know more information about creating custom editor in DataForm. 

  

UG Link: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfdataform/editors#custom-editor 

  

Code Snippet: 

    public class CustomDropDownEditor : DataFormDropDownEditor 

    { 

        public CustomDropDownEditor(SfDataForm dataForm) : base(dataForm) 

        { 

        } 

        protected override void OnInitializeView(DataFormItem dataFormItem, SfComboBox view) 

        { 

            base.OnInitializeView(dataFormItem, view); 

            view.IsEditableMode = true; 

        } 

    } 

  

    dataForm.RegisterEditor("DropDown", newCustomDropDownEditor(dataForm)); 

    dataForm.RegisterEditor("City", "DropDown"); 

 

  

We have prepared sample for the same,
