Hi
Ben Forta blogged about related things: http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/11/22/Flex-ComboBox-With-selectedVa lue-Support and following link in his blog is what should help you (it sure did help me!) http://www.tristanhauser.com/flex/ExtendedComboBox.mxml Just copy that to your project and use it instead of regular combo box. Hope this helps Tero Pikala _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stephen50232 Sent: 19 December 2006 12:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Data driven Combo boxes and selectedValues Hi, I'm trying to work on a combo box which is populated by a ColdFusion Component method, this method returns a list of users names and ID's. In my combo box I want to display the user's names, but use the ID as data field (so if some selects a user's name and saves the form, the ID is inserted into the database). What I want to do is when a user selects a record from a datagrid, this populates a details form, and the user name is selected in the combo box of names, by the userID, but displaying the user's name. I want to use this method of passing in an ID to a combo box and the combo box displaying the correct name/value for that ID. One problem I am having is setting the ID as a data field and displaying the name as a label. Can anyone suggest how I could do this? Thanks Stephen
