Hi,

It is correct. Combobox gets display text from Store (mapping value - text). After postback you need repopulate Store by required data to display text instead value because the store doesn't maintance data

Any word on an example for this problem, I am trying to do the same thing and cannot get it working. I have tried to refill the store after a postback but it still does not seem to work. here is my control. I am trying to make self contained combo boxes for common lookups in my app. I have tried storing the query values in viewstate and then on postback only refilling the store using these values. I have checked the outputed ext javascript and it appears the store is getting filled but the combo box still only shows the value, not the display text. Please help.

Try refilling the combo/select or backing store in the "on init" event of the page every time.

Thanks for your response.

I thought i was doing those... Seems something done wrong. Can you provide me a basic sample?

Thanks in advance...
