[flexcoders] Re: About Combobox filling up the first item by default when we databinding
I don't get what you mean to say ...
I have the code like this
mx:ComboBox id=txtFamilyName
y=24
left=10 right=10 editable=true
focusIn=fetchAutoCompleteData(event, 'Family')
dataProvider={modelLocator.searchModel.family}
focusOut=foucusOutHandler()/
in fetchAutoCompleteData function i will connect to database and
update modelLocator.searchModel.family variable which has a
databinding to ComboBox dataprovider. then the combobox will get
populated with the first item of modelLocator.searchModel.family array
. How can i avoid this?
and secondly the combobox grows its size to the max item fetched in
the array. how can i avoid that too.
Thanks,
Srikanth

You want a labelFunction there, I reckon.

[flexcoders] Re: About Combobox filling up the first item by default when we databinding
From the Flex docs for ComboBox:
prompt property
prompt:String
http://127.0.0.1:2522/help/topic/com.adobe.flexbuilder.help/langref/Str\
ing.html [read-write]
The prompt for the ComboBox control. A prompt is a String that is
displayed in the TextInput portion of the ComboBox when selectedIndex =
-1. It is usually a String like Select one If there is no prompt,
the ComboBox control sets seletedIndex to 0 and displays the first item
in the dataProvider.
So, all you have to do is set prompt = in the tag and set
selectedIndex = -1 in your focusIn function after you set the
dataProvider. I do this all the time. Works like a charm. You can also
set the prompt to something more meaningful, like Select a Family
Name...
mx:ComboBox
id=txtFamilyName
y=24 left=10 right=10
editable=true
focusIn=fetchAutoCompleteData(event,'Family')
dataProvider={modelLocator.searchModel.family}
focusOut=focusOutHandler()
prompt= /
