These are some notes I made while integrating dhtmlxCombo into QWcrm.

• in the package the code you want is ../codebase/
• this codebase is prefilled with the dhxcombo_material skin
• you don't need ../codebase/dhtmlxcombo_deprecated.js
• you dont need ../codebase/fonts/ ? - doesnt seem to be called for what i use
• fontawesome, dunno what this is for, again, something else
• to add a new skin goto ../skins/ and into the folder of the skin you want. copy these files to ../codebase/ - the css will be overwritten
• for QWcrm I use skyblue
• only these JS and CSS are needed
  

  <script src="/{$theme_js_dir}dhtmlxcombo/dhtmlxcombo.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/{$theme_js_dir}dhtmlxcombo/fonts/font_roboto/roboto.css"/>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/{$theme_js_dir}dhtmlxcombo/dhtmlxcombo.css">

• roboto.css is for foreign characters, it might be used - cant be sure. i have not needed it yet
• If existing select object was defined as parent - dhtmlxCombo will take all data from it (list of options, sizes, tabindex, name)

Example code I used in QWcrm

// This Call Transforms the Select Element by ID to a real Combo Box
var combo = dhtmlXComboFromSelect('description['+ iteration+']');

// This Call Transforms the Select Element by ID to a real Combo Box
 var combo = dhtmlXComboFromSelect('rate['+ iteration+']');

• The code above auto resizes the combobox
• var combo = can be removed unless you want to add options

var combo = dhtmlXComboFromSelect('rate['+ iteration+']');
combo.setSize(90);             // This sets the width of the combo box and drop down options width
//combo.setOptionWidth(200);    // this sets the width of the options drop down ONLY
