Re: [flexcoders] Re: mx:ComboBox Again.
Hey Tim,
Thanks for that. I tried id then realised that it wouldn't work because I
needed to have the id name out of the database i.e. ProcessorID. Then it
worked. Thanks again!

Cool, I knew that you would get. For aomething like this, you can
also bypass the change event (if you just need a value) by binding
directly:
mx:TextArea id=forChange
width=150
height=100%
text={ ProcessorName.selectedItem.ProcessorID }/
or, whatever field you want.

I've written a class that allows you to data-bind a combo similar to
how you bind a text field.. You set the valueField propertie on an
instance of this component to the field in the dataProvider that
you're using as the data or key field, then you bind the
bindableValue property to your dataModel in both directions.
So, saw you have a form that you're using to track customer's
addresses, and this form is backed by a customerAddress object with
properties like city, state, and zipCode. You also have an
ArrayCollection with state names and abbreviations - states.stateName
and states.stateCode.. You would set the combo's dataProvider to
states, and it's labelField to stateName. For the custom properties,
you set the valueField property to stateCode, and then two-way bind
the bindableValue property to customerAddress.state.
Any time the user selects a new state from the combo, the component
will update the bindableValue property with the corresponding
valueField value - data binding changes it in your model. When the
model changes programmatically, eg from the result of a remoting call,
data binding will update bindableValue from the model.. The
propertyChange event is issued and caught by the component, and it
calls code exactly like what's been posted to locate the item with the
corresponding key.
Code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

Jeremy,
You will need to specify a labelField or labelFunction in order for
the ComboBox to know what you want to display.

[flexcoders] Re: mx:ComboBox
Jeremy,
I would normally do this in the RemoteObject result handler for the
data that contains the id that is the selection.
For instance let's say you have a ComboBox populated with a list of
US States. You retrieve an Employee record from a datasource via
Remoting, when that data is returned it would contain the state_id
that you want selected out of the comboBox. Then you could call the
code to select the correct state out of the ComboBox.

Oh okay,
I think I understand. So I would call the code when its coming back from
RemoteObject. Thanks again. I'll give that a go.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: mx:ComboBox selectedItem ={blah} (flex 2)
If the contents of the list is a string
setting selectedItem should just work. If its an object and you have a ref
to the same object in the CB, setting selectedItem should work.
If you just have matching values youll
probably need to loop, unless the objects in the dataProvider implement IUID
and then you could try to pass an object that has the same uid value as the one
you want to select. That of course is harder to pull off.

I've already tried that.
Well, not getItemAt because I used items.selectedItem (same thing).
