Options
The Kendo UI MultiColumnComboBox supports the following styling options:
-
size—configures the overall size of the component. -
rounded—configures the border radius. -
fillMode—controls how the color is applied.
Size
The size option controls how big or small the MultiColumnComboBox looks. The structure of the class is k-input-{size}.
The following values are available for the size option:
-
sm—small size -
md—medium size -
lg—large size -
none—unset
The default size value is medium and it is applied to the span wrapping element through the k-input-md class.
The example below shows a basic configuration and how to set size to "large":
<input id="multicolumncombobox" />
<script>
$("#multicolumncombobox").kendoMultiColumnComboBox({
size: "large",
dataSource: [
{ id: 1, name: "Apples" },
{ id: 2, name: "Oranges" }
],
columns: [
{ field: "name" },
{ field: "id" }
],
dataTextField: "name",
dataValueField: "id",
});
</script>
Below is the HTML that is affected from the configuration. The changes are applied to the span.k-combobox wrapping element:
<span class="k-input k-combobox k-widget k-dropdowngrid k-combobox-clearable k-input-outline k-input-lg k-rounded-full">

The following values are available for the rounded option:
