I am reading the documentation and I see examples but I can't understand how ComboBox and SelectBox work. How adding items and data binding between the model and the widget works? What is the purpose of controller? I am not asking for technical details. Just practical workflow.
I have this example http://tinyurl.com/o4qt722 and this http://tinyurl.com/qypqe3v I can't make them work I am trying to adjust from this example http://tinyurl.com/nceka5a What I have done is that I have sub classed the ComboBox so on appearance (couldn't make the event work in DemoBrowser) it connects via RPC and get's a list of countries. Then it creates a model to populate the ComboBox. What I want to do is in the list to be displayed the name but in the model to be set selected the code2. Very common requirement, plenty examples on the list but unfortunately I can't make it work. Also I would like to have a reference to the controller so I won't have to initialize a controller etc. every time I need this class. I wan't it to be as autonomous as possible. I have no idea what newVal.setDelegate({ bindItem: function(newVal, item, id) { newVal.bindProperty("name", "label", null, item, id); newVal.bindProperty("code2", "model", null, item, id); } is doing. I have read the docs but still can't understand how it works. Also I get this error in the logs "1654876 playground.Application[18-0]: GlobalError: this.getTarget(...).add is not a function" Can someone please help me make it work. And if it is possible to explain with simple words how databinding between the model properties is supposed to work? Is there any simpler way to achieve what I want? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list qooxdoo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
