[SOLVED] Open select from ts (angular, ng-select)

I have several ng-selects on a page, and am trying to open one from ts.

I am able to focus on the right ng-select using the following:

@ViewChildren(NgSelectComponent) ngselect: QueryList<NgSelectComponent>;
this.ngselect.last.filterInput.nativeElement.focus()

However, I'm not able to open. I tried the below

this.ngselect.last.filterInput.nativeElement.open()

but get the error:

_this.ngselect.last.filterInput.nativeElement.open is not a function

.open() is a method though...how can I get this to work? https://github.com/ng-select/ng-select#methods

Have You tried something like this

<ng-select #Selecter ></ng-select>

@ViewChild('Selecter') ngselect: NgSelectComponent;

ngAfterViewInit() {
  this.ngselect.open();
}
