Populate preselected values in multiselect dropdown component from remote (ajax) source

[Kresimir]

Hi, i am having difficulties with multiselect dropdown component with remote (ajax) source. Datasource must be remote because of number of records (10K+).

So far i have managed to do basic functionality - that is sending request to server with filtering and that returns results that are used to populate dropdown choices.

However, i also have requirement for populating preselected values and that means that multiselect should show them. That doesn't happen because of the fact that those values are now remote, therefore control should make additional request to get that data.

To be slightly more precise, values that i provide to controle are (for example!) List.

And the values to multiselect control would be in form of List of Text/Value pair (where Value corresponds to values i provide above).

In the end what happens is that multiselect doesn't show Text of preselected values, because there are no Text/Value pair for that Value.

I've tried same thing with Dropdown control, and it works - i see additional AJAX request going to server with filter for id of value i provided.

hello, i've made sample and attached it...

I've included comments in code, but have in mind the follwing:

index.cshtml contains three examples:

1. dropdown OK
   
2. multiselect NOT OK (this is problem that i am asking in this issue)
3. grid NOT OK (this is from this issue link)
