    [CLOSED] Weird ComboBox behaviour - does not "collapse" dropdown on blur the first time, but the second time is OK

    On this forum I have posted a lot it seems, and some of that touches on the behaviour of the ComboBox.

    So in this case I have two comboboxes with a store, and when focusing on the ComboBox it opens the dropdown. I then choose an item using ENTER and when I press ENTER i want to be taken to another control and for the combobox to collapse.

    A few problems:
    - The first ComboBox does send focus to the next control (the "ComboBox_Second", see code below) but it does not close/collapse its dropdown the first time I do it. If I then go back to the first ComboBox and do the same thing again, it collapses the dropdown as expected

    - The second ComboBox collapses the dropdown when I press ENTER, but it does not ship me to the next control (the DateField). So the code to change Focus to the "DateField_date" does not work, but if I send it to another control it works.

    <ext:ComboBox ID="ComboBox_First " runat="server" AutoWidth="true" EmptyText="First ComboBox"
        DisplayField="Name" ForceSelection="false"
        ValueField="Id"
        StoreID="Store_Stuff">
        <Listeners>
            <Focus Handler="this.onTriggerClick();" Delay="1" />
            <Select Handler="if (this.getValue() > 0) { #{ComboBox_Second}.focus(); this.collapse(); }" />
            <AfterRender Handler="this.keyNav.tab = function(){this.collapse(); return true;};" />
        </Listeners>
    </ext:ComboBox>
    
    <ext:ComboBox ID="ComboBox_Second" runat="server" AutoWidth="true" EmptyText="Second combobox" ForceSelection="false"
        DisplayField="Name"
        ValueField="Id"
        StoreID="Store_Stuff">
            <Listeners>
            <Focus Handler="this.onTriggerClick();" Delay="1" />
            <Select Handler="if (this.getValue() > 0) { #{DateField_date}.focus(); this.collapse(); }" />
            <AfterRender Handler="this.keyNav.tab = function(){this.collapse(); return true;};" />
        </Listeners>
    </ext:ComboBox>
    
    <ext:DateField ID="DateField_date" runat="server" AutoWidth="true" EmptyText="Date" Icon="Date" FieldLabel="Datum">
        <Listeners>
            <Blur Fn="checkDateField" />
        </Listeners>
    </ext:DateField>
    I cant figure out why. can you? =)

    Hi,

    To fix the second problem
    - The second ComboBox collapses the dropdown when I press ENTER, but it does not ship me to the next control (the DateField). So the code to change Focus to the "DateField_date" does not work, but if I send it to another control it works.
    please replace
    #{DateField_date}.focus();
    with
    #{DateField_date}.focus(false, 1);
    Regarding the first problem
    - The first ComboBox does send focus to the next control (the "ComboBox_Second", see code below) but it does not close/collapse its dropdown the first time I do it. If I then go back to the first ComboBox and do the same thing again, it collapses the dropdown as expected
    It's weird for me too. For now, I don't know why the sample below has the behavior you described. I will investigate further.
    Example
    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
    
    <%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>
    
    <script runat="server">
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!X.IsAjaxRequest)
            {
                this.Store1.DataSource = new object[] 
                { 
                    new object[] { 1, "item1" },
                    new object[] { 2, "item2" },
                    new object[] { 3, "item3" }
                };
                this.Store1.DataBind();
            }
        }
    </script>

            </Listeners>
        </ext:ComboBox>
        <ext:ComboBox ID="ComboBox2" runat="server" StoreID="Store1" ForceSelection="false">

    Vladimir suggested me to use .triggerBlur() method.

    The following example works fine.

    Example
    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
     
    <%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>
     
    <script runat="server">
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!X.IsAjaxRequest)
            {
                this.Store1.DataSource = new object[] 
                { 
                    new object[] { 1, "item1" },
                    new object[] { 2, "item2" },
                    new object[] { 3, "item3" }
                };
                this.Store1.DataBind();
            }
        }
    </script>

    Thanks a bunch, that worked a lot better!

    Without you and this forum, it would be pretty hard to get to these solutions! Thx!

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem....

     <Listeners >
           <Focus Handler="#{drpSupplier}.onTriggerClick();" Delay="1" />
            <Select handler ="#{Store1}.reload();#{drpSupplier}.triggerBlur();#{GridItems}.focus(false, 1);#{GridItems}.getSelectionModel().selectFirstRow();#{GridItems}.getView().focusRow(0);"  />
      </Listeners>

    While I am using this #{drpSupplier}.triggerBlur();

    the page gets closed....what can i do?

    Hi @Anburaja,

    Please clarify what Ext.NET version do you use? Also please provide a full sample to reproduce the problem.
