dxTagBox - Is it possible to select multiple items at once?

My users are asking for this feature as well. When they need to select 10 items, it takes 20 clicks.

We would like to see this as well.
Preferably a drop down check box list.

It is difficult for a user to have to do so much additional clicking while using these widgets. Would save us a lot of time if they could multiple select.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your idea. We will take it into account when planning features for future versions.

For now, you can implement a dxTagBox descendant and override the _completeSelection method in the following manner:

JavaScript
(function ($, DX) {  
    var ui = DX.ui;  
    DX.registerComponent("myTagBox", DX.ui, ui.dxTagBox.inherit({  
        _completeSelection: function (value) {  
            if (value === undefined)  
                value = this.option("fieldEditEnabled") && this._searchValue() ? this._searchValue() : this.option("value");  
            this._clearFilter();  
            this._setValue(value)  
        }  
    }));  
})(jQuery, DevExpress);  

HTML
<div data-bind="myTagBox: { items: [{ text: 'Item1' }, { text: 'Item2' }], displayExpr: 'text' }"></div>  

Please note that this approach uses undocumented API and we cannot guarantee that it will work in future versions.

Thank you Nikolai. Are there any plans to implement a standalone checked list box widget like the one that might be used in the dxDataGrid filter row?
