Multi Column drop down - Githubissues

paddyji commented 6 years ago

I would like a multi-column drop down. because in case of common names like John Pintos in a Customer database, then the second column becomes an identifier for the specific 'John Pinto'

I was looking for the same. I wanted a description to go with a stock code lookup field and have compromised with stockCode + ' - ' description as the label field. Works for now but I can see situations where it'd be good to have more than one column. I had a quick look but was a bit lost. Any chance this can be added as an enhancement? Thanks in advance :-)

Have you tried doing this with CSS, via either the columns property or grid layout? Depending on what you're trying to do, it may work. I can provide more help if you tell me what exactly you're trying to accomplish (screenshots/demos are better than words).

Okay, this is what I have:

It would be nice to have the stock code and description in separate columns. I wasn't aware the column tag could be used with the option tag like so:


<select>
    <option value="1">
        <column>001</column>
        <column>Widget 1</column>
    </option>
    <option value="2">
        <column>002</column>
        <column>Widget 2</column>
    </option>
</select>

According to this StackOverflow answer the above isn't valid HTML. It's not a biggie but any help appreciated. Thanks :-)

Telerik controls have the multi-column search in C#, but I have not found it in any web components, maybe a little R&D on CSS Grid might do the trick. I am trying. Rgds, Pradeep Chavan.

@paddyji Telerik controls are also pretty damn expensive as I remember!

Yes, Hopefully now with smart CSS3, they will come to their senses.
