    [CLOSED] adding listitems dynamically in a combobox

    Hi,

    I am attempting to add list items dynamically to a combobox located within a gridpanel column. I am attempting to do so using the listener event AfterRender. However it always results in an error eg

    <Editor>
        <ext:ComboBox ID="_options" runat="server" EmptyText="Options" TriggerAction="All">
            <Listeners>
                <AfterRender Fn="addItem" />
            </Listeners>
        </ext:ComboBox>
    </Editor>
    
    var addItem = function(combo, record, index) {
        combo.insertRecord(1, { Text: 'Text1', Value: '1' });
    }
    Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated

    Kind Regards

    Lee

    RE: [CLOSED] adding listitems dynamically in a combobox

    Hi,

    Please provide full sample. What are 'record' and 'index' arguments? Where it comes from? Also I think Text and Value names should be lower case ({ text: 'Text1', value: '1' })

    Why do inserting to the '1' position but '0'? Do you have one record in the combo already?

    Hi,

    Below is a sample. Answering your question, 'record' and 'index' arguments were added to the javascript function because i had seen it on a forum sample. Most likely i got it completely wrong. I was inserting a record after the first listitem, but this could have easily been before the firstitem.

    RE: [CLOSED] adding listitems dynamically in a combobox

    Hi,

    Please note that all combos in grid's column will use one shared store. Therefore you add item during combo AfterRender event then it will be called for each combo and the store will contain 'n' same records.
    Use AfterRender event of the grid to initialize the store of combos


    Why you do not add required records in code behind?


    P.S. That js error (which you mentioned) is fixed. Please update from SVN

    RE: [CLOSED] adding listitems dynamically in a combobox

    Hi,

    I would add the records in codebehind if i knew how, lol.

    I have grabbed the updated copy from svn however now when i attempt to add an item to the combobox with the afterrender event, it adds the listitem 8 times.

    Also is there a way to pass or retrieve the row index on a listitem select?

    Cheers

    RE: [CLOSED] adding listitems dynamically in a combobox

    Hi,

    As I said all combos will use one shared store. Therefore you should use AfterRender of the GridPanel. But I think it is better fill Items collection of the Combo in the codebehind (by ListItems)
     _options.Items.Add(new ListItem("text", "value"));

    Also is there a way to pass or retrieve the row index on a listitem select?
    Use AfterEdit (grid's event) event to perform required actions
    <AfterEdit Handler="if(e.field == 'nick'){...}" />

    afteredit : ( Object e )
    Fires after a cell is edited.
    grid - This grid
    record - The record being edited
    field - The field name being edited
    value - The value being set
    originalValue - The original value for the field, before the edit.
    row - The grid row index
    column - The grid column index
    Listeners will be called with the following arguments:
    e : Object
    An edit event (see above for description)
