[ADDED] [V0.7.0] ComboBox SelectedIndex

[Timothy]

Hello,

Could we get a SelectedIndex which would allow getting and setting the selected index of the store?

Cheers,
Timothy

I'm pushing this one, would be really nice to know what index of the local store is selected. Would save me having to do things like:

if (ComboBox1.SelectedItem.Value.Equals("Create a new one ..."))
{

}

When I know "Create a new one ..." is always the first item in the index.

Cheers,
Timothy

Hi Timothy,

I believe that row index in grid panel and index in store always same. If you get selected row with row index equal one then in store this record will be with index one. But the record position in store can be changed on client (for example, after local sorting). Therefore records in store on client can located in other positions then you set on server. Better use record ID

Vlad,

Good thinking, the SelectedRecordID property would be a good
idea (just like the SelectionModel).

However, would be still extremely helpful if we
have a SelectedIndex which would obviously reflect the client sort order (read only?)

Cheers,

Timothy

Oops,

you wrote about ComboBox but i didn't pay attention on it (i wrote about GridPanel :( )

[Timothy]

Oops, OK well you think something for the ComboBox might be worthwhile? Here is what I'm doing:

        Provinces.Listeners.Load.Handler = String.Format(@"
                this.insert(0, new Ext.data.Record( {{ Text: 'Create new Province ...', Value: '{0}' }} ) );
                this.insert(0, new Ext.data.Record( {{ Text: '----', Value: '' }} ) );
            ", Guid.NewGuid());

Then when someone selects something on the drpProvince (which points at the Province store) I check to enable or disable the drpCity:

...
        drpCity.Disabled = drpProvince.SelectedItem.Text.Equals("----") ||
                            drpProvince.SelectedItem.Text.Equals("Create new Province ....");
...

Really annoying having to check that the first 2 items in the list are not selected :)

...
        drpCity.Disabled = drpProvince.SelectedIndex <= 1;
...

Would be much easier :)

Cheers,

Possible? Would like to know so I can mark my code for the changes.

[Vladimir]

Hi Timothy,

yes, it is possible. Just before release of v0.6 very busy. We'll implement it in few days

[Timothy]

No excuse, get it done now! Just kidding, thanks vlad ... I've marked the spots in my code for when it's ready ;)

Cheers,
Timothy

Hi Timothy,

The SelectedIndex property was added. Please note that it is a read-only property
