I have a drill down interface that I tried to implement with standard combo-boxes. The performance is ok when it is a standalone app, but when we integrate it into our larger app, the performance degrades to the point where it is unusable. I suspect object creation and memory limits are killing us.
So I've attempted to implement the same interface using the newcombobox instead. Using your code below, I've finally gotten it working. However, the behaviour is strange in that making a selection in one of the combos screws up the selection in all the other combos. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in the newcombobox? I've attached my sample code. Note that it must be placed in "my-apps" for the relative paths to work out correctly. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Grandy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 6:21 PM To: William Krick Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Laszlo-user] combobox and newcombobox compilation errors I'm just looking at this now... One difference from combobox is that newcombobox is much more like a base component -- it does less to define subview structure than combobox did, so you have to do more work to use it. When I integrate it into the components I'll include an "lz" class that has similar look-and-feel to combobox so that it is easier to use. Here's a new version of lps/components/incubator/test/newcombobox- test.lzx that is close to that "lz" class: <canvas> <include href="../newcombobox.lzx"/> <!-- note that currently we are only using the first frame from the lft and mid resources. --> <resource name="lzcombobox_lft_rsc"> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/combobox_lft_up.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_lft_up.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/ combobox_lft_dsbl.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_lft_dsbl.swf" /> </resource> <resource name="lzcombobox_mid_rsc"> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/combobox_mid_up.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_mid_up.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/ combobox_mid_dsbl.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_mid_dsbl.swf" /> </resource> <resource name="lzcombobox_rgt_rsc"> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popbtn_rt_up.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popbtn_rt_mo.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popbtn_rt_dn.swf" /> <frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popbtn_rt_dsbl.swf" /> </resource> <class name="simplecombobox" extends="newcombobox" width="100"> <view width="100%" height="20" focusable="false" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> <view name="lft" resource="lzcombobox_lft_rsc"/> <view name="mid" resource="lzcombobox_mid_rsc" stretches="width"/> <basebutton name="rgt" resource="lzcombobox_rgt_rsc" styleable="true"> <method event="onclick"> LzFocus.setFocus(this,false); classroot.toggle(); </method> </basebutton> <stableborderlayout axis="x"/> </view> <newcombobox_text width="${ parent.width - 19 }" x="7" /> </class> <dataset name="dsHours"> <item value="1">1</item> <item value="2">2</item> <item value="3">3</item> <item value="4">4</item> <item value="5">5</item> <item value="6">6</item> <item value="7">7</item> <item value="8">8</item> <item value="9">9</item> <item value="10">10</item> <item value="11">11</item> <item value="12">12</item> </dataset> <simplecombobox width="84" shownitems="3" itemdatapath="dsHours:/ item"/> </canvas> On Jan 19, 2006, at 2:51 PM, William Krick wrote: > What do you have to do to get the newcombobox displaying properly? > > I found some examples in the forums but the only one that half > works is the > one that extends newcombobox and does something crazy that I don't > understand with toggling classroot. > > http://tinyurl.com/7dp7n > > If I use the newcombobox by itself, nothing shows up. > > this is the sort of code I'm trying to use... > > <newcombobox id="cbvin" width="200" > itemdatapath="symbol_year:/resultset/result" > textdatapath="@modelyear" > valuedatapath="@id" /> > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Grandy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 4:03 PM > To: William Krick > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Laszlo-user] combobox and newcombobox compilation errors > > > Deleting the incubator copy of floatinglist may do the trick.
