DxDropDownBox.ValueChanging Event

Fires when the editor value is being modified. Use this event to validate or cancel the new value.

Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

Declaration

csharp

[Parameter]
public Action<ParameterValueChangingEventArgs<object>> ValueChanging { get; set; }

Event Data

The ValueChanging event's data class is ParameterValueChangingEventArgs<Object>. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
NewValue	Gets or sets the new value being assigned to the parameter.
OldValue	Gets the current parameter value.

Remarks

The ValueChanging event fires before a new value is applied to the component (before the ValueChanged event). You can use this event to validate or cancel the new value.

The following code prevents restricted item selection. If a user tries to select an item that is marked as restricted, the DropDownBox’s value remains unchanged.
