I’ve found with the filteringSelect control, when you use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move to the item you want to select, each value you move to gets set as the value of the control. This also happens as you type into the control,
where each time the first value in the list changes the value of the control is set.
For example, if you have a list of states and want to select Arizona you could start typing ‘A’, which would select Alabama and set the value of your control. Then if you use the arrow keys to move down to Arizona the control would change
values for each state you pass through. I have a JS Fiddle set up at
https://jsfiddle.net/nathanF/15b3wLe8/ that shows each time the value of the control changes.
Is there a way to not change the value of the control until the user does something to indicate the item they want to select, such as hitting Enter? We are triggering actions each time the value of the filteringSelect changes, and these
frequently include calls back to the server and database. I would rather not make the users wait for a server call to return for items they’re just stepping through to get to the value they want.
I am also working on intercepting the value change and asking the user if they really want to make the change before committing it and triggering other changes on the page. If they don’t want to make the change I would like to be able to
abort the change and leave the control on the last selected value. I would like to be able to allow the user to arrow through the values in the list and only ask them about changing to their final value.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nathan
