ComboBox prevent user from typing

[former_member275106]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to prevent the user to type in a ComboBox?

The user can only select one of the options. I want the same behavior as the sap.m.Select, where the user cannot type or "select empty".

Thanks, Cristiano.

You can fetch the jQuery instance of the input control used in the ComboBox and set the attribute readonly to true.

oComboBox.addEventDelegate({
         onAfterRendering: function() {
              oComboBox.$().find("input").attr("readonly", true);
         }
});

Hi,

In compobox change these lines, oComboBox1.setEditable(true); to oComboBox1.setEditable(false);

Hi Pradeep,

No, the editable to false make it read only, it is not what I want.

I still want to allow the user to select one of the options.

thanks.

Hi,

In compobox change these lines, oComboBox1.setEditable(true); to oComboBox1.setEditable(false); this will prevent user to type

Hi,

Can you send code in jsbin r jsfiddle, i cant open the link shows The server at veui5infra.dhcp.wdf.sap.corp can't be found because the DNS look-up failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address.
