    [CLOSED] how to create multi select combobox on client side

    Hi all,

    I have a grid with a custom editor for each row. Some rows need a multi combobox as editor(see example).
    I don't find the multi combo as a standard control in ext.js 3.4.0 so I was wondering if there is a way to create it on the client side.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Hi,

    The simplest way would be to create a MultiCombo in markup and look at the Page Sources to get a required script.
    http://forums.ext.net/showthread.php...ll=1#post89172

    The MultiCombo sources are here:
    <Ext.NET sources root>\Ext.Net\Build\Ext.Net\extnet\core\form\MultiCombo.js

    Hi Daniil,

    I figured that one out and was able to add the multi combo, but it causes a strange error on my page when the grid is saved.
    I am using ArrayReader as store for my grid and the OnBeforeStoreChanged method to iterate through the updated grid entries.
    Other editors for my grid do not cause a problem (datefield, numberfield, textbox, etc.)

    Do you have some idea what the problem might be with the value from the combobox?

    Hi Daniil,

    using writebaseparams and the following code

    
                //JSON representation
                string gridJson = e.Parameters["rows"];
    
                //XML representation
                XmlNode gridXml = JSON.DeserializeXmlNode("{records:{record:" + gridJson + "}}");
    
                //array of Dictionaries
                Dictionary<string, string>[] grid1Data = JSON.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>[]>(gridJson);
    I managed to get hold of the data that is being serialized/deserialized:

    
    "\"[{\\\"Id\\\":\\\"3cc3a565-3043-4c8c-8a74-a0b60118cd4a\\\",\\\"Text\\\":\\\"1\\\",\\\"Value\\\":\\\"Nicht zugewiesen,Automatische Fehlerdetektion\\\",\\\"Editor\\\":\\\"MultiComboBox\\\",\\\"Enumeration\\\":[[\\\"Nicht zugewiesen\\\",\\\"Nicht zugewiesen\\\"],[\\\"Automatische Fehlerdetektion\\\",\\\"Automatische Fehlerdetektion\\\"],[\\\"Betrieblicher Unterhalt\\\",\\\"Betrieblicher Unterhalt\\\"],[\\\"Inspektionsingenieur\\\",\\\"Inspektionsingenieur\\\"],[\\\"Polizei und Verkehrsteilnehmer\\\",\\\"Polizei und Verkehrsteilnehmer\\\"]],\\\"ValueType\\\":\\\"Multilist\\\",\\\"OSEInventoryId\\\":\\\"d694de9d-c163-4705-abe4-a09e010687db\\\"}]\""
    the gridXml looks like this:

        SchemaInfo: {System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo}
        Value: null
    and the exact exception thrown by the third statement from the quote above:

    Error converting value 
    
    "[{	"Id":"3cc3a565-3043-4c8c-8a74-a0b60118cd4a",

    to type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.String][]'. Line 1, position 557.

    It looks like the enumeration field in the record cannot be properly deserialized.
    I need that field on the client side in order to be able to create a store for my multilist select but i dont need it to be posted back.
    Is it possible to make the deserialization work or is it possible to exclude the field from being sent back to the server side?

    Yes, because it is an array, not a string. It should be deserialized well to
    Dictionary<string, object>[]

    Please use the filterField option, as here:

    Hi Daniil,

    filtering the submitted values solved my problem.

    However, regarding the serialization, when the submitted values are no filtered i still get a serialization exception even if i do not try to deserialize explicitly. I get the exception even if i don't do anything in the handler. The handler itself executes with no error but i get an exception on the client side. The submitted data is as described above. could you please have a look as i can already see some controls where i could need an object [] being passed back as value.

    thanks.

    Hi Daniil,

    the data submitted is the one described above, namely

    
    "\"[{\\\"Id\\\":\\\"3cc3a565-3043-4c8c-8a74-a0b60118cd4a\\\",\\\"Text\\\":\\\"1\\\",\\\"Value\\\":\\\"Nicht zugewiesen,Automatische Fehlerdetektion\\\",\\\"Editor\\\":\\\"MultiComboBox\\\",\\\"Enumeration\\\":[[\\\"Nicht zugewiesen\\\",\\\"Nicht zugewiesen\\\"],[\\\"Automatische Fehlerdetektion\\\",\\\"Automatische Fehlerdetektion\\\"],[\\\"Betrieblicher Unterhalt\\\",\\\"Betrieblicher Unterhalt\\\"],[\\\"Inspektionsingenieur\\\",\\\"Inspektionsingenieur\\\"],[\\\"Polizei und Verkehrsteilnehmer\\\",\\\"Polizei und Verkehrsteilnehmer\\\"]],\\\"ValueType\\\":\\\"Multilist\\\",\\\"OSEInventoryId\\\":\\\"d694de9d-c163-4705-abe4-a09e010687db\\\"}]\""
    I will need some time to create a standalone example from scratch. I will come back to you in the beginning of next week.

    thanks
