dhtmlxcombo dropdown on filtering

I have some dhtmlxcombo using autofiltering dynamic xml. When I click on the arrow none of the dropdowns appear but when I input a character then I can only view the options beginning with those characters. I want to display all the options in the dropdown when i click on the dropdown arrow.

I have a previous js of dhtmlxcombo where this was working. When i clicked on the combobox it used to show me all the options. Its not working with the new js.

In case of dynamic filtering ( when you are using server side script for data generation ) - it not possible ( and I'm pretty sure that it was not possible in previous version as well) - the list of suggestion for each string stored separatly and there is no way to show them all in same time.

In case of static filtering ( single XML loading and just filtering existing list ) it possible in theory.

If you need the "show all on open" functionality for "static filtering" - please contact us directly at support@dhtmlx.com - I will send you a sample with workaround which forces such behavior.
