Hello @iansriley!

This issue still happens down to Ext.NET 4.5.x. Just tried your test case in the latest release.... so well, that's maybe a feature now.

Good news is that you can just replace the empty whitespace entries with   and you'll get your checkbox.

Hope this helps!

**iansriley** · Feb 08, 2018, 7:44 AM

Thank you for the temporary solution... now checkbox is getting rendered, but.. when select that item it's showing same " " on display, it's not good to show like this to end user, please see the attached screenshot.

Is there any work around for this as well....

**fabricio.murta** · Feb 08, 2018, 2:03 PM

Hello @iansriley!

There must be something else in your actual use case that's triggering this. On the test case you provided, I just get an empty string (well, with the translated long space by  , but not the untranslated string).

I initially did this just in Ext.NET 4.5 so when you reported this behavior I wasn't sure; then I just copied the sample to version 2.5 (actually 2.5.3) and it worked well. When I select the "blank" entry, I just get the colon and the blank item selected.

Here's the playback of a run in the example using Ext.NET 2: https://extnet.github.io/Ext.NET/for...ombo_entry.gif

EDIT: just to clarify, "in the test case you provided" has also the change with   in the dropdown entry instead of a simple white space.

Yes, it's working fine with static ListItems but not with Store data.... please check following example and attached screenshot.

Hello @iansriley!

Thanks for the code sample, and good news, you can just mangle the multi combo's display template to make it look the way you need.

As we need the   on the picker for it to show nothing -yet- show the checkbox, we shold still rely on that string. But then we just transform it into nothing whenever it wants to get into the list of selections with the code block below (within the ext:MultiCombo block definition:

<DisplayTpl runat="server">
    <Html>
        <tpl for=".">{[typeof values === "string" ? values : ((values["name"] == "&nbsp;") ? "" : values["name"])]}<tpl if="xindex < xcount">, </tpl></tpl>
    </Html>
</DisplayTpl>

I hope this helps!
