Overview

The TagBox component allows users to select multiple items from a drop-down list. This demo illustrates the following TagBox properties:

  • items
    An array of items to display in the drop-down list. Do not use the items property and the dataSource property in the same configuration.

  • dataSource
    Binds the TagBox to a data source, which allows you to perform complex data operations. Do not use the dataSource property and the items property in the same configuration.

  • searchEnabled
    Enables interactive item search.

  • showSelectionControls
    Enables item selection controls.

  • applyValueMode
    Specifies whether TagBox applies the selection instantly or after a confirmation.

  • hideSelectedItems
    Specifies whether TagBox removes selected items from the drop-down list.

  • multiline
    Specifies whether TagBox enables horizontal scrolling when the input field cannot fit all selected items.

  • acceptCustomValue
    Allows users to enter custom values. To enable this capability, implement the onCustomItemCreating handler.

  • placeholder
    Sets the value of the placeholder string.

  • value
    Specifies the list of currently selected items.

  • disabled
    Specifies whether the component responds to user interaction.

  • itemTemplate
    Allows you to customize the appearance and content of list items.

  • tagTemplate Allows you to customize the appearance and content of list item tooltips.
