RE: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
Use labelFunction, but an alternative to a switch statement would be to use an associative array (Object).

[flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
Hi, I am using combobox for which the bound data is coming from an arraycollection. My arraycollection has two properties called countryname(labelField) and countrycode. When i submit my page, the countrycode from my combo is saved to the DB. During retrieval I am given only countrycode and not countryname. How can I show the equivalent countryname as selectedItem in my combobox? Presently I am looping through the arraycollection and showing the equivalent countyname. Is there any other way to do it? Any help is highly appreciated... Regards, Ganesh Sundar R.
Re: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
If I understand correctly, you have a ComboBox with a dataProvider, and want to set the selectedIndex / selectedItem of that dataProvider knowing only piece of data (the CountryCode). Is that correct? Unfortunately, your approach is the way to do it using the built in Flex ComboBox. Our Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox implemented a selectedValue property, which allows you to do just that, though http://www.flextras.com/?event=ProductHomeproductID=10 Does this answer the question? gan_sun2006 wrote: Hi, I am using combobox for which the bound data is coming from an arraycollection.

Re: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
look at combo boxes labelfunction the function will then inspect the countrycode and you'll have a nasty switch statement that will output the correct country name -mL gan_sun2006 wrote: Hi, I am using combobox for which the bound data is coming from an arraycollection.

Re: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
I started to give him a similar answer, but then realized he may be talking about setting the selectedItem on the ComboBox. He mentioned he already had a labelField which seems to be exactly what he needs for display purposes without a complicated switch statement. Ganesh, if neither answer helps you, could you elaborate on the problem?
