An object defining configuration properties for the DropDownBox UI component.
Specifies whether the UI component allows a user to enter a custom value.
Selector: accept-custom-value
Default Value: false
Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.
Selector: access-key
Default Value: undefined
The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey
attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.
Specifies whether the UI component changes its visual state as a result of user interaction.
Selector: active-state-enabled
Default Value: true
The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.
Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.
Allows you to add custom buttons to the input text field.
Selector: DxButton
Default Value: undefined
Built-in buttons should also be declared in this array. You can find an example in the following demo:
Specifies a custom template for the drop-down content.
Selector: content-template
Template Data: Name Type Description componentThe UI component's instance.
value anyThe currently selected value.
Default Name: 'content'
Binds the UI component to data.
Selector: data-source
Default Value: null
The DropDownBox works with collections of objects or string
, number
, or boolean
values. The component does not support hierarchical data sources.
Depending on your data source, bind DropDownBox to data as follows. In each case, also specify the valueExpr and displayExpr properties if the data source provides objects.
Data Array
Assign the array to the dataSource option.
Read-Only Data in JSON Format
Set the dataSource property to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.
OData
Implement an ODataStore.
Web API, PHP, MongoDB
Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme UI components use:
Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.
jQuery$(function() { let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service"; $("#dropDownBoxContainer").dxDropDownBox({ // ... dataSource: DevExpress.data.AspNet.createStore({ key: "ID", loadUrl: serviceUrl + "/GetAction", insertUrl: serviceUrl + "/InsertAction", updateUrl: serviceUrl + "/UpdateAction", deleteUrl: serviceUrl + "/DeleteAction" }) }) });Angular

Any other data source
Implement a CustomStore.
Regardless of the data source on the input, the DropDownBox always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.
If the element embedded in the DropDownBox UI component is another DevExtreme UI component, their data sources should be interrelated. Refer to the Synchronize with the Embedded Element article for more information.
Review the following notes about data binding:
Do not specify the items property if you specified the dataSource, and vice versa.
Field names cannot be equal to this
and should not contain the following characters: .
, :
, [
, and ]
.
DropDownBox does not execute dataSource.sort functions. To implement custom sorting logic, implement columns[].calculateSortValue.
Specifies whether to render the drop-down field's content when it is displayed. If false, the content is rendered immediately.
Selector: defer-rendering
Default Value: true
AngularIf you set the deferRendering
property to true, wrap the content in the Angular named template.
If you set the deferRendering
property to true, wrap the content in the Vue named template.
Specifies whether the UI component responds to user interaction.
Specifies the data field whose values should be displayed.
Selector: display-expr
Function parameters:The current item's data object.
Default Value: undefined
Set this property to the name of a data field that provides displayed values...
... or to a function that returns the displayed value:
displayExpr: function(item) { // "item" can be null return item && 'ID: ' + item.id + ', Name: ' + item.name; }
Leave this property unspecified or set it to this
if the data source contains primitives.
Customizes text before it is displayed in the input field.
Selector: display-value-formatter
Function parameters:One or more values from the displayExpr that correspond(s) to the selected UI component values.
Text for the input field.
This function receives values from the data field set in the displayExpr property and should return a string that contains text for the input field. If the displayExpr is not set, the function receives full data objects.
The following code demonstrates how to change separators from commas to semicolons by using the displayValueFormatter function. You can try it if you copy this code to the Multiple Selection demo:
jQuery$(function() { $("#dropDownBoxContainer").dxDropDownBox({ displayValueFormatter: function(value) { return Array.isArray(value) ? value.join("; ") : value; }, // ... }); });Angular
<dx-drop-down-box ... [displayValueFormatter]="displayValueFormatter" > <!-- ... --> </dx-drop-down-box>

Specifies or indicates whether the editor's value is valid.
Selector: is-valid
Default Value: true
An array of items used to synchronize the DropDownBox with an embedded UI component.
The DropDownBox uses other UI components to render items. Use the contentTemplate to embed a UI component such as the List or the TreeView. In this case, items are displayed in accordance with the configuration and functionality of the embedded UI component.
If you need to update UI component items, reassign the items array as shown in the following example:
dropDownBoxInstance.option('items', newItems);
You can use the dataSource property instead of items. It accepts the DataSource object whose underlying stores include API that allows you to update individual items without reassigning the entire item collection.
Do not use the items property if you use dataSource (and vice versa).
Specifies a text string used to annotate the editor's value.
Specifies the label's display mode.
Selector: label-mode
Default Value: 'static', 'floating' (Material), 'outside' (Fluent)
This property can have one of the following values:
labelMode Description Illustration "static" The label is displayed above the input field. "floating" The label is used as a placeholder, but when the editor gets focus,If autofill is enabled in the browser, we do not recommend that you use "floating" mode. The autofill values will overlap the label when it is displayed as a placeholder. Use "static" mode instead.
Specifies the maximum number of characters you can enter into the textbox.
Selector: max-length
Default Value: null
If the number of entered characters reaches the value assigned to this property, the UI component does not allow you to enter any more characters.
The value to be assigned to the name
attribute of the underlying HTML element.
Specify this property if the UI component lies within an HTML form that will be submitted.

Switches the UI component to a right-to-left representation.
Selector: rtl-enabled
Default Value: false
When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.
DevExpress.config({ rtlEnabled: true });
DataGrid Demo Navigation UI Demo Editors Demo
Specifies whether to display the Clear button in the UI component.
Selector: show-clear-button
Default Value: false
The Clear button calls the reset method.
Specifies whether the drop-down button is visible.
Selector: show-drop-down-button
Default Value: true
Specifies how the UI component's text field is styled.
Selector: styling-mode
Default Value: 'outlined', 'filled' (Material)
The following styles are available:
You can also use the global editorStylingMode setting to specify how the text fields of all editors in your application are styled.
Specifies the number of the element when the Tab key is used for navigating.
Selector: tab-index
Default Value: 0
The value of this property will be passed to the tabindex
attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.
The read-only property that holds the text displayed by the UI component input element.
Information on the broken validation rule. Contains the first item from the validationErrors array.
Selector: validation-error
Type: any
Default Value: null
An array of validation errors.
Selector: validation-errors
Default Value: null
DropDownBox updates this property automatically as it validates values. You can also update validationErrors manually to display custom errors and implement custom validation logic. The following code snippet demonstrates how to define items in this array:
jQuery$('#drop-down-box').dxDropDownBox({ isValid: false, validationErrors: [{ message: "Custom validation error" }], })Angular
<dx-drop-down-box [isValid]="false" [validationErrors]="validationErrors" ></dx-drop-down-box>
import { DxDropDownBoxComponent } from 'devextreme-angular/ui/drop-down-box' export class AppComponent { validationErrors = [ { message: 'Custom validation error' } ]; }Vue
<script setup lang="ts"> import { DxDropDownBox } from 'devextreme-vue/drop-down-box'; const validationErrors = [ { message: 'Custom validation error' } ]; </script> <template> <DxDropDownBox :is-valid="false" :validation-errors="validationErrors" /> </template>React
import { DropDownBox } from 'devextreme-react/drop-down-box'; const validationErrors = [ { message: 'Custom validation error' } ]; function App(): JSX.Element { return ( <DropDownBox isValid={false} validationErrors={validationErrors} /> ) }
Specifies how the message about the validation rules that are not satisfied by this editor's value is displayed.
Selector: validation-message-mode
Default Value: 'auto'
The following property values are possible:
Specifies the position of a validation message relative to the component. The validation message describes the validation rules that this component's value does not satisfy.
Selector: validation-message-position
Default Value: 'auto'
If you set this property to auto
, the component specifies the validation message position automatically.
The following example positions a validation message at the component's right:
jQuery$(function() { $("#dropDownBoxContainer").dxDropDownBox({ // ... validationMessagePosition: 'right' }).dxValidator({ validationRules: [{ type: 'required', message: 'Required', }], }); });Angular
<dx-drop-down-box ... validationMessagePosition="right"> <dx-validator> <dxi-validation-rule type="required" message="Required" > </dxi-validation-rule> </dx-validator> </dx-drop-down-box>Vue
<template> <DxDropDownBox ... validation-message-position="right" > <DxValidator> <DxRequiredRule message="Required" /> </DxValidator> </DxDropDownBox> </template> <script> // ... </script>React
import React from 'react'; // ... function App() { return ( <DropDownBox ... validationMessagePosition="right" > <Validator> <RequiredRule message="Required" /> </Validator> </DropDownBox> ); }; export default App;
Indicates or specifies the current validation status.
Selector: validation-status
Default Value: 'valid'
The following table illustrates the validation status indicators:
When you assign "invalid" to validationStatus, you can also use the validationErrors array to set an error message as shown below:
jQuery$(function() { const dropDownBox = $("#dropDownBoxContainer").dxDropDownBox({ // ... }).dxDropDownBox("instance"); function setInvalidStatus(message) { dropDownBox.option({ validationStatus: "invalid", validationErrors: [{ message: message }] }); } });Angular
<dx-drop-down-box [validationStatus]="validationStatus" [validationErrors]="validationErrors"> </dx-drop-down-box>
// ... export class AppComponent { validationStatus: string = "valid"; validationErrors: any; // ... setInvalidStatus(message) { this.validationStatus = "invalid"; this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }]; } }Vue
<template> <DxDropDownBox ... :validation-status="validationStatus" :validation-errors="validationErrors" /> </template> <script> // ... export default { // ... data() { return { validationStatus: "valid", validationErrors: [] } }, methods: { setInvalidStatus(message) { this.validationStatus = "invalid"; this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }]; } } } </script>React
import React, { useState } from 'react'; // ... function App() { const [validationStatus, setValidationStatus] = useState("valid"); const [validationErrors, setValidationErrors] = useState([]); const setInvalidStatus = message => { setValidationStatus("invalid"); setValidationErrors([{ message: message }]); } return ( <DropDownBox validationStatus={validationStatus} validationErrors={validationErrors} /> ); }; export default App;
Specifies the currently selected value. May be an object if dataSource contains objects, the store key is specified, and valueExpr is not set.
Type: any
Default Value: null
When dataSource contains objects, you should define valueExpr to correctly identify data items. If valueExpr is not specified, the component compares object references to display an item, not object values. For instance, if you define the value property as an object containing identical values to dataSource to select all items, the component displays nothing.
Specifies the DOM events after which the UI component's value should be updated.
Selector: value-change-event
Default Value: 'change'
This property accepts a single event name or several names separated by spaces.
The recommended events are "keyup", "blur", "change", "input", and "focusout", but you can use other events as well.
See AlsoSpecifies which data field provides unique values to the UI component's value.
Selector: value-expr
Function parameters:The current item's data object.
A unique item identifier.
Default Value: 'this'
When dataSource contains objects, you should define valueExpr to correctly identify data items. Otherwise, the component uses referential equality to compare objects, which may result in unexpected behavior.
If you use a store, the valueExpr property should have the same value as the key in the store. Alternatively, you can use this
as a valueExpr but the key should be specified. Refer to the following article for more information: Troubleshooting - A Drop-Down Editor Does Not Show Data.
Do not use template
as a valueExpr value.
You cannot specify valueExpr as a function when the UI component is bound to a remote data source. This is because valueExpr is used in a filter the UI component sends to the server when querying data. Functions with custom logic cannot be serialized for this filter.
See AlsoSpecifies whether the UI component is visible.
Specifies the UI component's width.
This property accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
The width in pixels.
String
A CSS-accepted measurement of width. For example, "55px"
, "20vw"
, "80%"
, "auto"
, "inherit"
.
