Has anyone gotten this working correctly? I'm trying to do the same thing, and having some issues.
1st is the issue Simeon mentions below, any time you select an item, the dropdown closes. I looked at the source for ComboBox.as, and it is handling the "change" and "click" events on the list, and closing the dropdown. I don't see how to overcome this without implementing a custom list control that masks those events (and use the dropdownFactory property)... Anyone else have any ideas on this? 2nd, there is an "itemRenderer" property on the ComboBox class in Flex2 Release. I have set this to a checkbox, and it actually renderers little mini combobox skins around the checkboxes! Try the code below! Any ideas? thanks in advance, Thunder <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"> <mx:ComboBox id="combo" dataProvider="{comboDP}"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:CheckBox /> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </mx:ComboBox> <mx:XMLListCollection id="comboDP"> <mx:source> <mx:XMLList xmlns=""> <row><label>North America</label><data>North America</data></row> <row><label>South America</label><data>South America</data></row> <row><label>Europe</label><data>Europe</data></row> <row><label>Asia</label><data>Asia</data></row> <row><label>Africa</label><data>Africa</data></row> </mx:XMLList> </mx:source> </mx:XMLListCollection> </mx:Application> --- In [email protected], "Simeon Bateman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks man, > > That was exactly what I needed.
