jQWidgets jqxDropDownList incrementalSearch Property

Last Updated : 08 Sep, 2021

Introduction: jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDropDownList widget is a jQuery drop-down list that contains a list of selectable items displayed in the drop-down list.

The incrementalSearch property is used to set or return the incremental Search property. The incremental search begins searching as soon as you type the first character of the search string. It accepts Boolean type value and its default value is true.

Syntax:

Set the incrementalSearch property.

$('selector').jqxDropDownList({ incrementalSearch: Number });

Return the incrementalSearch property.

var incrementalSearch = $('selector').jqxDropDownList('incrementalSearch');
