activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether or not the widget changes its state when interacting with a user.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

    Enables an end-user to apply the selected value or cancel the selection using the Apply and Cancel buttons respectively.

  • 'instantly'
    Applies the selected value immediately after a user clicks the required value in the drop-down menu. To cancel the selection, click outside the drop-down menu.

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the EditorApplyValueMode enum. This enum accepts the following values: Instantly and UseButtons.

attr Deprecated

Use the inputAttr property instead.

The text displayed on the Cancel button.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'Cancel'

cleanSearchOnOpening

Specifies whether or not the widget cleans the search box when the popup window is displayed.

Default Value: 'Clear'

closeOnOutsideClick

Specifies whether to close the drop-down menu if a user clicks outside it.

Type:

Boolean

|

Function

Return Value:

Boolean

true if the menu should be closed; otherwise false.

Default Value: false

The function passed to this option enables you to specify a custom condition for widget closing. For instance, you can prevent closing until a user clicks a certain element.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function () {
    $("#lookupContainer").dxLookup({
        // ...
        closeOnOutsideClick: function(e) {
            return e.target === $("#someElement").get()[0];
        }
    });
});
Angular
TypeScript
HTML
import { DxLookupModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
    closeOnOutsideClick (e) {
        return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement");
    }
}
@NgModule({
     imports: [
         // ...
         DxLookupModule
     ],
     // ...
 })
<dx-lookup ...
    (closeOnOutsideClick)="closeOnOutsideClick($event)">
</dx-lookup>

dataSource

A data source used to fetch data the widget should display.

Default Value: null

This option accepts one of the following.

  • Array of objects
    A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.

  • URL
    A URL to JSON data or to a service returning data in JSON format.

  • DataSource or its configuration object
    A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

NOTE
Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

If the data source is specified using the dataSource option, use the items option only for reading. Updating data items using the items option may cause unexpected results.

If the Lookup widget works with the data accessed using a DataSource instance wrapping a CustomStore, pay attention to the byKey option of the CustomStore instance, which is required for this widget. This option takes on a function used to get an item by a key.

To display widget items, a default template can be used. This template is based on the data source fields that are listed in the Default Item Template section of the widget's API. Alternatively, you can implement a custom item template.

deferRendering

Specifies whether to render the drop-down field's content when it is displayed. If false, the content is rendered immediately.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

disabled

Specifies whether the widget responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

displayExpr

Specifies the name of the data source item field whose value is displayed by the widget.

Type:

String

|

Function

Default Value: undefined

If the data source item is a simple object holding a value (string, numeric, Boolean, etc.), assign 'this' to the displayExpr option. If the item is a plain object item, assign the required field name or path to the option.

displayValue

Returns the value currently displayed by the widget.

Type:

String

Read-only
Default Value: undefined

The value you pass to this option does not affect widget behavior. Pass an observable variable to this option to get the value currently displayed by the widget.

dropDownButtonTemplate

Specifies a custom template for the drop-down button.

Type:

template

Template Data:
Name Type Description

Default Value: {}

You can configure this option in an ASP.NET MVC Control as follows:

Razor C#
Razor VB
@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName()
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new {
        @id = "elementId",
        @class = "class-name"
    })
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })

)
@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName() _
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New With {
        .id = "elementId",
        .class = "class-name"
    })
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New Dictionary(Of String, Object) From {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })
)

fieldEditEnabled Deprecated

This option is deprecated, because the functionality controlled by it was not supposed to belong to the Lookup widget. Instead, we suggest that you use the SelectBox widget with the acceptCustomValue option set to true.

fieldTemplate

Specifies a custom template for the input field.

Type:

template

Template Data:

Object

Default Name: null

focusStateEnabled

You can configure this option in an ASP.NET MVC Control as follows:

Razor C#
Razor VB
@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName()
    .InputAttr("id", "inputId")
    // ===== or =====
    .InputAttr(new {
        @id = "inputId"
    })
    // ===== or =====
    .InputAttr(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "id", "inputId" }
    })
)
@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName() _
    .InputAttr("id", "inputId")
    ' ===== or =====
    .InputAttr(New With {

    })
    ' ===== or =====
    .InputAttr(New Dictionary(Of String, Object) From {
        { "id", "inputId" }
    })
)

isValid

Specifies whether the editor's value is valid.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

In Knockout apps, you may need to inform a user about an error that occurred during the validation of a view model field. For this purpose, set the editor's isValid option to the isValid value of the dxValidator that validates this field. To show an error message, set the editor's validationError option to the dxValidator's validationError value.

JavaScript
var editorValue = ko.observable("").extend({
    dxValidator: {
        validationRules: [{
            type: 'required',
            message: 'Specify this value'
        }]
    }
});
var viewModel = {
    editorOptions: {
        value: editorValue,
        isValid: editorValue.dxValidator.isValid,
        validationError: editorValue.dxValidator.validationError
    }
};

The editor's isValid and validationError options should also be specified when using a custom validation engine. In this instance, the validation result will be displayed for the editor by the means of the DevExtreme Validation UI.

items

An array of items displayed by the widget.

Type:

Array<any>

You can use the dataSource option instead. Unlike the items option, the dataSource option can take on the DataSource configuration object as well as a simple array.
