    .Odropdown(o => o.Submenu()
        .ItemFunc("site.imgItem")
        .CaptionFunc("utils.imgCaption"))
    .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsTreeImg", "Data")))

Awesome/DataController.cs

public IActionResult GetMealsTreeImg()
{
    var url = Url.Content(DemoUtils.MealsUrl);

    var res = new List<MealOitem>();
    var groups = Db.Meals.GroupBy(o => o.Category);
    foreach (var g in groups)
    {
        res.Add(new MealOitem
        {
            Content = g.Key.Name,
            Class = "o-itm",
            NonVal = true,
            Items = g.Select(meal => new MealOitem { Key = meal.Id, Content = meal.Name, url = url + meal.Name + ".jpg" })

@(Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxList("AllMealsMultiCombo")
    .Multiselect(o => o.NoSelectClose().Combo())
    .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsImg", "Data")))

Multiselect, with custom css

Remote search, external api

try 'valueinjecter'

Getting data from the git api on search using the SearchFunc. ItemFunc and CaptionFunc are used to specify custom rendering functions for the items and the caption.
Using the same cache key "g1", so searching in one control will populate the other one with data as well.

Shared/Demos/RmtSrcGit.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("GitRepoOdropdown")
          .Load(false)
          .Odropdown(o =>
            o.SearchFunc("site.gitRepoSearch", key: "g1")
             .ItemFunc("site.gitItem")
             .CaptionFunc("site.gitCaption")
             .Caption("select a git repo")))
<span class="hint">try 'valueinjecter'</span>
<br/>
<br/>
@(Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxList("GitRepoMultiselect")
          .Load(false)
          .Multiselect(o =>
            o.SearchFunc("site.gitRepoSearch", key: "g1")
            .ItemFunc("site.gitItem")
            .CaptionFunc("site.gitCaption")
            .Caption("select a git repo")))

Set value from get items call

setting selected items in the controller by returning AweItems instead of KeyContent[]

AjaxCheckboxListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CategorySv")
        .Odropdown(o => o.AutoSelectFirst())
        .Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")))

@(Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxList("MealsSv")
        .Parent("CategorySv", "categories")
        .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsSetValue", "Data"))
        .Ochk())

Awesome/DataController.cs

public IActionResult GetMealsSetValue(int[] categories)
{
    categories = categories ?? new int[] { };

    var items = Db.Meals.Where(o => categories.Contains(o.Category.Id)).ToList();

    object value = null;
    if (items.Any())
    {
        value = new[] { items.Skip(1).First().Id };
    }

    return Json(new AweItems
    {
        Items = items.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name)),
        Value = value
    });
}

Using predefined parameters

setting parameter parent = { Fruits, Legumes } using .Parameter and .ParameterFunc extensions

Events and Api

Showing commonly used client side api methods.
To change the value you simply call jquery .val(newvalue).change().
aweload event is handled to flash the #log div whenever the dropdown loads.
The same api methods can be used for the AjaxDropdown, AjaxRadioList controls and their mods.

AjaxDropdownDemo/Index.cshtml

@{
    var meal1 = Db.Meals[1];
    var meal2 = Db.Meals[2];
}

@(Html.Awe().AjaxDropdown("ddApi")
      .Url(Url.Action("ApiGetMeals", "Data")))

<br />
<br />
@Html.Awe().Button().Text("Change value to " + meal1.Name).OnClick("app1.changeval(" + meal1.Id + ")")
@Html.Awe().Button().Text("Change value to " + meal2.Name).OnClick("app1.changeval(" + meal2.Id + ")")

@Html.Awe().Button().Text("Load only first category").OnClick("app1.loadFirstCat()")
@Html.Awe().Button().Text("Reload").OnClick("app1.reload()")
@Html.Awe().Button().Text("Toggle Enable").OnClick("app1.toggleEnable()")

<br />
<br />

<div id="log">
</div>

<script>
    var app1;

    $(function() {
        var dd = $('#ddApi');
        var o = dd.data('o');
        var api = o.api;

        app1 = {
            changeval: function (newVal) {
                dd.val(newVal).change();
            },
            reload: function () {
                api.load();
            },
            loadFirstCat: function () {
                api.load({ oparams: { cat1: true }});
                // oparams sets cat1 just for this call
                // params sets persistent parameters
            },
            toggleEnable: function () {
                api.enable(!o.enb);
            }
        };

        dd.on('aweload', function(e, data) {
            awe.flash($('#log').html('loaded ' + data.length  + ' items'));
        });
    });
</script>

Awesome/DataController.cs

public IActionResult ApiGetMeals(int? v, bool? cat1)
{
    var items = Db.Meals;

    if (cat1.HasValue && cat1.Value)
    {
        items = items.Where(o => o.Category == Db.Categories[0]).ToList();
    }

    return Json(items.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name)));
}

Toggle select all

AjaxCheckboxListDemo/Index.cshtml

<div class="ib">
    <button type="button" class="awe-btn" onclick="toggleChkl('chklCatAll')">toggle select all</button>
    <br />
    <br />
    @(Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxList("chklCatAll").Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")))
</div>
<div class="ib">
    <button type="button" class="awe-btn" onclick="toggleChkl('chklCatAll2')">toggle select all</button>
    <br />
    <br />
    @(Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxList("chklCatAll2").Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")).Ochk())
</div>
<script>
    function toggleChkl(id) {
        var f = $('#' + id).parent();
        f.find(':checkbox').prop('checked', !f.find(':checkbox').first().prop('checked')).change();
    }
</script>
