Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Bootstrap
Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Bootstrap.v24.1.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web.Bootstrap
Declaration
[DefaultValue(DropDownStyle.DropDownList)]
public DropDownStyle DropDownStyle { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DropDownStyle | DropDownList | One of the DropDownStyle enumeration values. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| DropDown | End users are allowed to change the editor’s edit value by either selecting an item from the dropdown list or entering new values into the edit box. |
| DropDownList | End users are allowed to change the editor’s edit value only by selecting an item from the dropdown list. |
Remarks
Use the DropDownStyle property to control the manner in which the combo box editor allows end users to manipulate its edit value. Depending upon this property’s value, users can change the edit value by simply selecting an item from among the predefined items (DropDownStyle.DropDownList) or they can also input new values into the editor’s edit box (DropDownStyle.DropDown).
The DropDownStyle property is set to DropDownStyle.DropDownList by default. This means that the Combo Box does not allow values that are not listed within the editor’s server-side BootstrapComboBox.Items collection. Additionally, modifications to the client-side item collection are not synchronized with the server side, regardless of the BootstrapComboBox.EnableSynchronization property’s value.
