When the dropdown is in "DropDownList" mode (disabling any entering of text or autofilter), is there a way to allow users to open the WebDropDown by clicking anywhere on the text or image area?
That is how a normal dropdownlist functions and our users will be put off if they have to click on that tiny image area in order to open it.
Thanks,
Mike
Is this advice still current or was this addressed in 2011.1?
Hi Mike,
Currently this doesn't happen automatically when you set the DisplayMode to be DropDownList. but you can handle the InputMouseDown client-side event, and do the handler code like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function open(sender,args)
{
sender.openDropDown();
}
</script>
and in the control markup:
<ClientEvents InputMouseDown="open" />
it should work exactly in this way that you've described.
Thanks for the good feedback, we will consider it for future updates to have this functionality out of the box.
