Prevent deletion of text input in combobox when it loses focus

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

When the combobox loses focus, it always deletes everything the user entered, if enter has not been pressed. Is there an easy way to prevent this behaviour? I already tried to remove blur listeners, but there are not any registered.

Thanks!

Hi Markus,
You can try setting “allowCustomValue” property to true like so:

<vaadin-combo-box allow-custom-value></vaadin-combo-box> That allows the combo box to have values not included in the initial items list.

Hi Tomi,

thanks for your answer. I am working with the framework and now recognized, that I probably posted this question into the wrong category.

I only found these two methods, which did not achieve the desired effect:

cb.setInvalidAllowed(true); cb.setNewItemsAllowed(true); Thanks!
