Hello list,
I am going crazy over this simple use case... I want to include a select box
in a form. The select box is populated with a model using the
qx.data.controller.List. The model is more complex than the examples in the
demo browser, which always only use a label model ["a","b","c"]. My model
uses label and value (the real use case also "icon"):
var data = [
{ label: "Please select your gender", value: null},
{ label: "I'm a man", value: "male"},
{ label: "I'm a woman", value: "female"},
{ label: "I' won't say", value: "unknown"}
];
I need to be able to use a simple scalar value in the form model which gets
read from and saved to the server. Here's the basic code:
http://tinyurl.com/3x44wbr
So if the user selects "I am a woman", the form model should contain
"female", and when the form model is updated to contain "unknown" by the
server, the select box should display "I won't say" automatically.
I have solved this before with all kind of ugly code involving looping
through the list models, but there MUST be a cleaner solution - it works
with the simple label-based list models. I remember something about a
"modelSelection" property or the formModel.addBindings() method - but I am
currently at a loss.
Can someone look at the example and tell me where I got stuck? This is such
a common situation in forms that I must be blind not to get it.
Thanks,
Christian
