Hi,
Does anyone know how to bind the selectedItem of a combobox? Currently I am
having problems trying to bind the selectedItem of a bindable combox in a
master/detail app. Here is my code for the combobox:
<mx:FormItem id="relationshipFormItem" label="Relationship to XX"
fontWeight="bold">
<view:BindableComboBox id="relationshipCB" width="123"
dataProvider="{model.relationships}"
valueField="relationshipCode"
labelField="relationshipDesc" enabled="true"
selectedItem="model.selectedGuest.relationship}" />
</mx:FormItem>
I would like to have the selectedItem bind to the relationship of the
selectedGuest when a guest is selected form the master list. When a guest is
selected from the master list, the selectedGuest in the model is set to the
guest selected and the state in the model is set to the detail state. Both
relationships and guest are bindable value objects.
1. the "relationships" value object has two properties relationshipCode and
relationshipDesc
2. the guest value object that has a relationship property (which is a string
that corresponds to the relationshipCode of the relationships VO) plus other
properties.
What happened was that the selectedItem sometimes bind correctly to the
relationship of the selected guest, but sometimes did not bind and the first
value in the drop down box (null) was displayed. I even had two exact
comboboxes (with different ids) and sometimes one did bind and the other not.
Can someone shed some lights on this? Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Susan
This is the code of the BindableCombox I used (provided by the code generator
for coldfusion/flex)
