ComboBox and New item

[sfvaleriano]

Hi,

I've one editable ComboBox loaded with store databinding. The user can write a free text into combobox but when control lost focus the user text is erased.

the logic process is this:

1. load the combobox with sotre (associated to an ObjectDataSource)
2. The user can select an item in the list
3. else can write a new item
4. alfter when postback the page, if the item into combobox in new then save it

I hope that I explained
Thanks

Hi,

Set ForceSelection="false" for ComboBox

[sfvaleriano]

I try it, but if set ForceSelection="false"
when i type a text into combo, it does not autoselect item
but any text i type it select the first element.

this is code:

    <ext:store ..... />

    <ext:ComboBox 
            AutoPostBack="true"
            Width="384px"
            ID="ComboBox1"
            runat="server" 
            StoreID="Store1" 
            Editable="true"
            DisplayField="Country"
            ValueField="ID"
            TypeAhead="true" 
            ForceSelection="false"
            TriggerAction="All"
            EmptyText="Select country..."
            Select&#111;nfocus="true">
        </ext:ComboBox>

Hi,

You need remove TypeAhead also because TypeAhead can't be used with allowing to type custom values

Hi,

I've removed TypeAhead but when type a text
the combo don't autoselect the item if it exist
and the relative SelectedItem.Value is always set on text displayed
not on the valueField (if exists)

Hi,

If you set ForceSelection="false" (custom values allowing) then will be ready that you will get text only even for items from list because custom text has no value
