The Combo component is similar to the Select component in that it provides a list of options from which the user can make a selection. In contrast to the Select component, the Combo component displays all options in a virtualized list of items, meaning the combo box can simultaneously show thousands of options, where one or more options can be selected. Additionally, users can create custom item templates, allowing for robust data visualization. The Combo component features case-sensitive filtering, grouping, complex data binding, dynamic addition of values and more.
