    [CLOSED] Setting Currently Selected Text as Text for Combobox

    Hi,

    Using
    Ext.net V2.0
    ASp.net with vb

    I have gridpanel containing Combobox column in it, i m populating the gridpanel from codebehind. what i want to do is whenever user enters the combobox column, if the cell value is blank then first item in the combobox should get selected, or else if the combobox have some selected text in it the it should appear as text for the cell on focus and user should be able to change it afterwords.

    in short the combobox cell in gridpanel should never be empty, either it should show first value in the combobox as cell text or selected text as cell text

    for more clarity please refer attached image.

            Store store = this.GridPanel1.GetStore();
            store.DataSource = new object[] 
            { 
                new object[] { "2" },

    Hi Daniil,

    Thanks for the Reply. it's just what i wanted. Thank you very much.

    another thing i want to ask is, as per the example, if the cell value is blank/empty then we use 0 index record from store. this is ok in case of first row in grid where no value is selected in the combobox, but if i add a new row dynamically, then also the value for the column will be empty, but in this scenario i want to set the last selected value in the combobox, or value of previous cell in the same column, as cell text.

    how can i do this.

    I think it is possible to implement in the StartEdit handler.
