Hi mcinar,

I don't think this is going to work with so much data. There is a lot of JavaScript being fired whenever you populate, or try to find an item in the list. JavaScript isn't the fastest language around, so with so many items, it's always going to be slow (unless someone optimized the Web FX Combobox.

I think you'll need to look for a server side solution to deal with this many records.

Cheers,

Hi Imar,

Can you recommend me any type of server side solution?

Thanks for your help,

You could accept one or two letters, then have your users click a Search button. Then you roundtrip to the server, and fill the drop-down with items that start with those two characters.

This is not as good as a client side solution, because you'll need to post back to the server, causing a delay. However, compared to the browser freezing, that's not half as bad as it sounds ;)

Possibly you can do this with client side callbacks. This still requires a call back the server, but at least the browser screen doesn't redraw. However, cross-browser client side call backs aren't very easy to program....

Cheers,

It seems like it won't work for me.

Thank you,

What won't work? The client side or the server side solution?

Hi Imar,

It is a very good idea, but the users would like to have something easier for them.
I wouldn't mind paying for it, if there is a good and fast Combo Box available.

Thanks for your help,
