Restrict the dataProvider of drop-down list box to display a field.

Hello

I wonder if there is a way to use an ArrayCollection collection as the dataProvider for a ComboBox but only allows him to display a field as you can do with a DataGrid control by using the dataField on the column definition property.

So, let's say I have a collection of letters and numbers ArrayCollection, and I want the ComboBox control to display only the letters.  Is it possible to specify this?

Thank you!

Use the labelField property to specify the field of ComboBox dataProvider to display in the ComboBox control.

This means that you have the items in the collection ArrayCollection which are objects or XML, etc.

  • Select the string table drop-down list box.

    Hi all

    I want to select the combo box list based on a string in the entry, I don't know how to do this. I have a drop-down list box and the value comes from a database, what I want to do is I want to change the value of the selected box based on the existing value in the database drop-down list. for example, A, B, C D I strings in the drop-down list box, and then in my database, I have a field with the string C, I want to change the C to A. I can't enter the value of C in a string format, but I don't know how to be the first position of the drop-down list box in so the order of channels combo box will be C, A, B, d., the value of C

    Thank you

    Then just write a new array of strings, with the elements of the new agenda, to the "[] strings" - property.

    Either you must code something that allows you to create an array of strings with the elements in the order that you want them to be. If there is a reorganization only, you could do something like:

    -Get the array of strings [] from the drop-down list using a property node box.

    -Find the position of the element you want to place first and use "delete from table", which returns the new array and the element removed.

    -Build a new table 1 d of the deleted item and table remaining. Move to the second combobox Strings [] property of a node property.

    ObjectName - is your identical objectname (when your dd called dd_choice2 or dropbox_2, then you must modify the script)

    The behavior is correct when you copy them.

    You select '123 '.

    You select "456".

    2 JJ "123" and "678".

  • Command to refresh a calculated field when you select an option from the drop-down list box

    When my form user selects an option in a drop-down list box, the value in the field (in this case, Total) I would like to update, but it isn't.

    A radio button option box makes the Total-development field to automatic update when the user clicks on the radio button. But the drop-down list box is not updated Total (without clicking away from the field). I would like to add a command in the Combo Box to refresh the Total field when you selected the option to drop-down list box.

    Someone at - it a code (Javascript?) to get there.

    Thank you very much.

    You don't need a script, simply select the 'Value selected to validate immediately' checkbox on the Options tab of the dialog list box drop-down list box field properties.

  • Properly handle output drop-down list box

    A drop-down list box will display one of the two types of data.  If it finds the value entered on the roll control on front panel in the column of the strings in the array [] strings and values, it will display the cell value.  Otherwise, it will display the string.  So, if my array strings and values looks like this:

    Red, 0

    Yellow, 1

    Green, 2

    I enter 'Orange', then the drop-down list box "Orange."  If I get "Yellow", then the combo box returns "1" rather than "yellow."

    Is there any method to determine the behavior that controls used?

    In fact, the data type is always a string. The 'value' should be interpreted as a numeric by you. On the top of my head, there are 2 ways you can do this:

    • Use the search D table 1 to find the Strings of [] property to see if the ComboBox Text.Text property is in the list of channels. If the output of the function is - 1, then you know he has simply removed the chain.
    • You can use the decimal digit? function to see if the value is numeric.

    I don't know that there are others.

  • A drop-down list box, two text boxes

    Hi all, I feel a bit silly to ask what she should be very simple, right? I have the a combo, the solution box a text down pat. For example when the user select name of the staff member in the drop down menu, it fills the phone number of this person in Textbox1.

    I would like to add to this so that when a user selects (and here I use false details) "Bob," he filled before his phone number in Textbox1 and "[email protected]" in Textbox2 simultaneously. Simply impossible to find the solution of anywhere.

    So far, I have used the code next (on the net) in the scripts of strike of the custom from the drop-down list box, but how I lay on it?

    (function () {}

    Do nothing if it is committed
    If (event.willCommit) return;

    Set up a table to hold the various paragraphs of the text
    var aQuotes = [];

    Fill the table with the text of paragraph
    aQuotes [0] = "bob phone"
    aQuotes [1] = 'sarah phone'
    aQuotes [2] = "phone linda".
    aQuotes [3] = "phone jerry."
    aQuotes [4] = "phone of mary".
    aQuotes [5] = 'phone jessie. "

    Get the selected item, which is the value of exports of the selected drop-down list box item
    var point = event.changeEx

    Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("ITC_Phone").value is aQuotes [point];.

    })();

    Bravo guys.

    Like this:

    Custom script from typo to the drop-down list box (dropdown)

    (function () {}

    Do nothing if it is committed

    If (event.willCommit) return;

    Set up a table to hold the various paragraphs of the text

    var aQuotes = [];

    Complete the tables table of telephone and e-mail addresses

    aQuotes [0] = ['phone of bob', "[email protected]" ""];

    aQuotes [1] = ["sarah phone", "[email protected]" ""];

    aQuotes [2] = ["phone linda", "[email protected]" ""];

    aQuotes [3] = ['phone jerry', "[email protected]" ""];

    aQuotes [4] = ['phone mary', "[email protected]" ""];

    aQuotes [5] = ["phone jessie", "[email protected]" ""];

    Get the selected item, which is the value of exports of the selected drop-down list box item

    var point = event.changeEx;

    Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field

    getField("ITC_Phone").value = aQuotes [item] [0];

    getField("ITC_Email").value = aQuotes [item] [1];

    })();

    This code assumes that the value of exports of the items in drop-down list box is 0, 1, 2, 3...

    If there is much more that the aQuotes table should really be defiined in a JavaScript file at the level of the document if you are concerned about performance and maintainability.

  • Set point problem selected in the drop-down list box that is the XML data provider

    HI - new to Flex, experienced Java dev., hoping someone can help me see the light of what should be easy but...

    I have a Flex 3 MXML application form that contains a ComboBox as follows:
    < mx:ComboBox id = "physRegion" editable = dataProvider = "{regionRequest.lastResult.region 'false'}" / > "

    The combo box is filled by the provider of data like:
    MX:HTTPService id = "regionRequest" url = "flexDAOServlet" resultFormat = "e4x" method = "POST" >
    < / mx:HTTPService >

    and the underlying XML code looks like this:
    <>region
    Northland < label > < / label >
    < value > 1 < / value >
    < / region >
    <>region
    Auckland < label > < / label >
    < value > 2 < / value >
    < / region >
    ...

    Drop-down list box loads the XML code very well. the user can select an item and the appropriate value is submitted to the server without problem. My problem is when I want to "recharge" the form with previous values.
    I can reload the text without problem fields.

    But I can't work in my ActionScript function, how to set the combo box so that it displays "Auckland" for example, the element with the value = 2. I'll be back this server id, even if I could get the XML code or label if that would help me solve this problem.

    I tried physRegion.selectedItem = "Auckland" - nope. "
    I tried physRegion.selectedItem = 2 - nope.
    I tried
    var XML = myXML:XML ("< region > < label > Auckland < /label > < value_2 > < value > < / region >");
    physRegion.selectedItem = myXML;
    and - nope.

    I know that I'm a new style user here error (and thank you for reading this far! your patience is appreciated) but I can't for the life of me see what it is. Can anyone help?

    Many thanks in advance for clues. Apart from that, I'm loving Flex.
    Kind regards

    Two things to note. The only problem with the function that has provided ChiefRocka00 is that it is based on the identifier of the data, which means your always limited to have that be the identifier of your value. Personally, I'll be back queries a lot of times where the labelFIeld and dataField aren't labels / data pairs a suggestion would be to add a third parameter and have it checked for this identifier instead of the data. The other thing to note is that it is more common to use selectedIndex instead of selectedItem. If you do not want to do something more like physRegion.selectedIndex = selectCboIndexByData ("physRegion, ' Auckland", label) by using the update function of

    public void selectCboIndexByData(theCbo,_theDataValue,_identifier:String):Number {}
    for (var i: Number = 0; i< thecbo.dataprovider.length;="">
    If (theCbo.DataProvider.getItemAt (i) [ID] == theDataValue) {}
    Return i;
    }
    }
    return 0;
    }

  • How to change the items in a drop-down list box that is part of an array of clusters

    Hello

    In the attached vi, I have an array of clusters and each cluster contains two drop-down list boxes. How can I edit the items in the drop-down list box 1 for all elements in the array? (All elements of list box 1 has the same elements.)

    By way of illustration, I have also included the case of trivila, for example, edit the items in a separate drop-down list box that is is not part of an array of clusters (combo box 3). Please notify. Thank you.

  • Modification of the properties-type def drop-down list box

    I have a group of 32 cases of a def type. The def type contains several different types of control. What I have to do is to change the properties of the list box for each of the type defs. Normally, I would create an array of references to change the properties for each of the type defs, but when I try this I can not access the properties of string [] for combo box selections. The only way I found to fix it is to create a reference for each individual drop-down list box item. It is labour, since I'll have 32 elements. Is there a way to beeter to do this? The first screenshot shows the issui I'll have, not being able to change the properties of specific elements within each of the def type at runtime through a control [] array. The second screenshot shows the only solution I've found so far, which is not very practical.

    You will need to set up (for a more specific class) control to a type of combo box for the particular control [] index that has the combobox control if you want to access the drop-down list.

    You can also access the combobox in a cluster based directly, rigth click on the control reference and a link to the element cluster directly.

    The last option is to make the strictt of typdef will fill all instances with the channel list [] given that it is a strict property.

    the approach is based on the weather, you plan on changing the list during execution.

  • get the index of a selected item in a drop-down list box

    Hello

    If I have a list of strings in a drop-down list box and the user selects one in the drop-down menu, how can I get the index?  I was able to explore the table for the selected channel, but it seems like duplication of effort to create a list and then go back and research it.

    Thank you

    It's easier to change control of the ring or Enum which gives the index as a default value, a drop-down list box gives a string that must be converted. But if you like really graphic and you want to use the drop-down list you can uncheck the "use strings as values" option and enter the index as numbers and then make a string to Decimal conversion.

  • Change the number of items in the drop-down list box when running

    I'm trying to change the number of items in one of my boxes of comobo.

    I have been through the help and this forum and have the values to within the drop-down list box change very well, but in a scenario, I want to go to three options for 2. And according to other choices to 3.

    I guess I have to use a property node but I can't understand that one.

    You can use the method to reset to zero (using an invoke node) before setting the [Strings] (after setting the value by default an empty array) or create an Xcontrol (you can see examples of LabVIEW for xcontrol).
