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.
