    Base Class
    Control

    The MultiSelectListBox control contains a ListBox with a "Select All" button and a "Filter" input.

    The "Select All" and "Filter" elements can be shown or hidden using the showSelectAllCheckbox and showFilterInput properties.

    The MultiSelectListBox control is used as a drop-down by the MultiSelect control.

    Constructor

    Properties

    Methods

    Events

    Constructor

    constructor

    constructor(element: any, options?: any): MultiSelectListBox
    

    Initializes a new instance of the MultiSelectListBox class.

    Parameters
    • element: any

      The DOM element that hosts the control, or a CSS selector for the host element (e.g. '#theCtrl').

    • options: any
    Optional

    The JavaScript object containing initialization data for the control.

    Returns
    MultiSelectListBox

    Properties

    caseSensitiveSearch

    Gets or sets a value that determines whether searches performed while the user types should case-sensitive.

    The default value for this property is **false**.

    Type
    boolean

    checkedItems

    Gets or sets an array containing the items that are currently checked.

    Type
    any[]

    checkedMemberPath

    Gets or sets the name of the property used to control the checkboxes placed next to each item.

    Type
    string

    checkOnFilter

    Gets or sets a value that determines whether the MultiSelectListBox should automatically check all filtered items when the filter text changes.

    The default value for this property is **true**, which causes the control to behave like Excel and check all visible items when the filter is applied.

    For example, in a control with three items "Alice", "Bob", and "Mary", typing "a" into the filter would cause the control to show items "Alice" and "Mary", and both would be checked.

    Setting this property to **false** prevents the control from automatically checking filtered items, and to keep checked items visible regardless of the filter value.

    For example, in a control with three items "Alice", "Bob", and "Mary", typing "a" into the filter would cause the control to show items "Alice" and "Mary", but neither would be checked. If the user then checked "Mary", and typed "b" into the filter, the list would show items "Mary" (still checked) and "Bob" (unchecked).

    Type
    boolean

    collectionView

    Gets the ICollectionView object used as the item source.

    Type
    ICollectionView

     

    Static controlTemplate

    Gets or sets the template used to instantiate MultiSelectListBox controls.

    Type
    any

    delay

    Gets or sets the delay, in milliseconds, between when a keystroke occurs and when the search is performed to update the filter.

    This property is relevant only when the showFilterInput property is set to **true**.

    The default value for this property is **500** milliseconds.

    Type
    number

    displayMemberPath

    Gets or sets the name of the property to use as the visual representation of the items.

    Type
    string

    filterInputPlaceholder

    Gets or sets the string used as a placeholder for the filter input element.

    The default value for this property is **null**, which causes the control to show a localized version of the string "Filter".

    Type
    string

    hostElement

    Gets the DOM element that is hosting the control.

    Gets a value indicating whether the control is hosted in an element with right-to-left layout.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Type
    boolean

    selectAllLabel

    Gets or sets the string to be used as a label for the "Select All" checkbox that is displayed when the showSelectAllCheckbox property is set to true.

    The default value for this property is **null**, which causes the control to show a localized version of the string "Select All".

    Type
    string

    selectedIndex

    Gets or sets the index of the currently selected item.

    Type
    number

    showFilterInput

    Gets or sets whether the control should display a "filter" input above the items to filter the items displayed.

    The default value for this property is **false**.

    Type
    boolean

    showGroups

    Gets or sets a value that determines whether the MultiSelectListBox should include group header items to delimit data groups.

    Data groups are created by modifying the groupDescriptions property of the ICollectionView object used as an itemsSource.

    The MultiSelectListBox only shows the first level of grouping.

    The default value for this property is **false**.

    Type
    boolean

    showSelectAllCheckbox

    Gets or sets whether the control should display a "Select All" checkbox above the items to select or de-select all items.

    The default value for this property is **false**.

    Type
    boolean

    tabOrder

    Gets or sets a value of the **tabindex** attribute associated with the control.

    **tabindex** attribute value can be defined statically for a Wijmo control by specifying it on the control's host HTML element. But this value can't be changed later during application lifecycle, because Wijmo controls have complex structure, and the control may need to propagate this attribute value to its internal element to work properly.

    Because of this, to read or change control's **tabindex** dynamically, you should do it using this property.

    Type
    number

    virtualizationThreshold

    Gets or sets the minimum number of rows and/or columns required to enable virtualization in the drop-down ListBox.

    The default value for this property is a very big number, meaning virtualization is disabled. To enable virtualization, set its value to 0 or a positive number.

    For more detals, please see the ListBox.virtializationThreshold property.

    Type
    number

    Methods

    addEventListener

    addEventListener(target: EventTarget, type: string, fn: any, capture?: boolean, passive?: boolean): void
    

    Adds an event listener to an element owned by this Control.

    The control keeps a list of attached listeners and their handlers, making it easier to remove them when the control is disposed (see the dispose and removeEventListener methods).

    Failing to remove event listeners may cause memory leaks.

    The passive parameter is set to false by default, which means the event handler may call event.preventDefault(). If you are adding passive handlers to touch or wheel events, setting this parameter to true will improve application performance.

    For details on passive event listeners, please see Improving scrolling performance with passive listeners.

    Parameters
    • target: EventTarget

      Target element for the event.

    • type: string

      String that specifies the event.

    • fn: any

      Function to execute when the event occurs.

    • capture: boolean
    Optional

    Whether the listener should be handled by the control before it is handled by the target element.

    Indicates that the handler will never call preventDefault().

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    applyTemplate

    applyTemplate(classNames: string, template: string, parts: Object, namePart?: string): HTMLElement
    

    Applies the template to a new instance of a control, and returns the root element.

    This method should be called by constructors of templated controls. Therefore, this method is not available. It is responsible for binding the template parts to the corresponding control members.

    For example, the code below applies a template to an instance of an InputNumber control. The template must contain elements with the 'wj-part' attribute set to 'input', 'btn-inc', and 'btn-dec'. The control members '_tbx', '_btnUp', and '_btnDn' will be assigned references to these elements.

    this.applyTemplate('wj-control wj-inputnumber', templateString, {
      _tbx: 'input',
      _btnUp: 'btn-inc',
      _btnDn: 'btn-dec'
    }, 'input');
    
    
    ```

    Parameters
    • classNames: string

      Names of classes to add to the control's host element.

    • template: string

      An HTML string that defines the control template.

    • parts: Object

      A dictionary of part variables and their names.

    • namePart: string Optional

      Name of the part to be named after the host element. This determines how the control submits data when used in forms.

    beginUpdate

    beginUpdate(): void
    

    Suspends notifications until the next call to endUpdate.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    containsFocus

    containsFocus(): boolean
    

    Checks whether this control contains the focused element.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    boolean

    deferUpdate

    deferUpdate(fn: Function): void
    

    Executes a function within a beginUpdate/endUpdate block.

    The control will not be updated until the function has been executed. This method ensures endUpdate is called even if the function throws an exception.

    Parameters
    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    dispose

    dispose(): void
    

    Disposes of the control by removing its association with the host element.

    The dispose method automatically removes any event listeners added with the addEventListener method.

    Calling the dispose method is important in applications that create and remove controls dynamically. Failing to dispose of the controls may cause memory leaks.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    Static disposeAll

    disposeAll(e?: HTMLElement): void
    

    Disposes of all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.

    Parameters
    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    endUpdate

    endUpdate(): void
    

    Resumes notifications suspended by calls to beginUpdate.

    Static getControl

    getControl(element: any): Control
    

    Gets the control that is hosted in a given DOM element.

    Parameters
    • element: any

      The DOM element that hosts the control, or a CSS selector for the host element (e.g. '#theCtrl').

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    Control

    getTemplate

    getTemplate(): string
    

    Gets the HTML template used to create instances of the control.

    This method traverses up the class hierarchy to find the nearest ancestor that specifies a control template. For example, if you specify a prototype for the ComboBox control, which does not specify a template, it will override the template defined by the DropDown base class (the nearest ancestor that does specify a template).

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    string

    initialize

    initialize(options: any): void
    

    Initializes the control by copying the properties from a given object.

    This method allows you to initialize controls using plain data objects instead of setting the value of each property in code.

    For example:

    grid.initialize({
      itemsSource: myList,
      autoGenerateColumns: false,
      columns: [
        { binding: 'id', header: 'Code', width: 130 },
        { binding: 'name', header: 'Name', width: 60 } 
      ]
    });



    // is equivalent to grid.itemsSource = myList; grid.autoGenerateColumns = false; // etc.

    The initialization data is type-checked as it is applied. If the initialization object contains unknown property names or invalid data types, this method will throw.

    Parameters
    • options: any

      Object that contains the initialization data.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    invalidate

    invalidate(fullUpdate?: boolean): void
    

    Invalidates the control causing an asynchronous refresh.

    Parameters
    • fullUpdate: boolean Optional

      Whether to update the control layout as well as the content.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    Static invalidateAll

    invalidateAll(e?: HTMLElement): void
    

    Invalidates all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.

    Use this method when your application has dynamic panels that change the control's visibility or dimensions. For example, splitters, accordions, and tab controls usually change the visibility of its content elements. In this case, failing to notify the controls contained in the element may cause them to stop working properly.

    If this happens, you must handle the appropriate event in the dynamic container and call the invalidateAll method so the contained Wijmo controls will update their layout information properly.

    Parameters
    • e: HTMLElement Optional

      Container element. If set to null, all Wijmo controls on the page will be invalidated.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    onCheckedItemsChanged

    onCheckedItemsChanged(e?: any): void
    

    Raises the checkedItemsChanged event.

    Parameters
    • e: any Optional
    Returns

    onGotFocus

    onGotFocus(e?: EventArgs): void
    

    Raises the gotFocus event.

    Parameters
    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    onInvalidInput

    onInvalidInput(e: CancelEventArgs): void
