SelectedItem() ComboBox control

I have a combobox, cb, I need to programmatically set the selection. The combobox has been completed by:

cd.addItem({data:"string1",label:"string1"});)
cd.addItem({data:"string2",label:"string2"});)
cd.addItem({data:"string3",label:"string3"});)

Lets say I want to set the ComboBox to "word2", I tried all of the following characteristics, no work:

cb.selectedItem ("string2");
cb.selectedItem(data:"string2");
cb.selectedItem(label:"string2");
cb.selectedItem({data:"string2",label:"string2"});)

The docs say selectedItem() is read/write, but all the examples I can find are read-only.

selectedItem is a property (selectedItem =...), is not a method (selectedItem (...)) and he do not get or set the item selected... He Gets or sets the value of the selected item (cb.selectedItem.label =...).

selectedIndex is another property, which gets or sets the index of the selected item. So if you want to programmatically change what is selected, you must use it.

PS - If you have copied and pasted this code into your file, you fill an instance called "cd", but trying to control something called "cb".

  • Use a combobox control to access scenes with as3

    I am a novice.  I try to use a combobox control to navigate to a different scene in my. Fla.  I was able to use a conditional statement (if) that seems to work but it only allows me to use the 'if' and a 'else if' stated once before giving an error.  I have reviewed all the information on the use of a 'switch', but did not have a chance to understand the coding or make it work.  Here is the code I wrote.  Can someone give me some advice?  Thanks in advance.

    CB1.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, home_dl);

    function home_dl(e:Event)

    {

    If (cb1.selectedItem.label is 'A - B')

    {

    gotoAndPlay (65, "a - b" "");

    }

    Else if (cb1.selectedItem.label == "C - D")

    gotoAndPlay (65, 'c - d');

    }

    A quick glance, it looks like you are missing an opening brace after your second if()

    Else if (cb1.selectedItem.label == "C - D") {}

    In addition, it is probably just a mistake of copying and pasting, you are short a closing brace of the function

    function home_dl(e:Event)

    {

    If (cb1.selectedItem.label is 'A - B')

    {

    gotoAndPlay (65, "a - b" "");

    }

    Else if (cb1.selectedItem.label == "C - D") {}

    gotoAndPlay (65, 'c - d');

  • Get the ComboBox control to work in AS3

    Hi all

    Am very new to AS and try to get a comboBox control to work. I copied and pasted the following on the Adobe site in frame 1:

    Add items to the list.
    my_cb. AddItem ({data: 1, label: "An object"});
    my_cb. AddItem ({data: 2, label: "the second point"});
    my_cb. AddItem ({data: 3, label: "the third point"});
    my_cb. AddItem ({data: 4, label: "fourth point"});

    var cbListener:Object = new Object();
    cbListener.change = {function (evt_obj:Object)}
    var item_obj:Object = my_cb.selectedItem;
    var i: String;
    for {(i in item_obj)
    trace (I + ": \t" + item_obj );
    }
    trace("");
    };
    my_cb.addEventListener ("change", cbListener);

    I have a comboBox control named my_cb onstage. But when I run it, I get this error: "1118: implicit constraint of a static type value Object to a type perhaps unrelated function.»

    I can't wait to head, so I try to decipher what you try to do it from code, but here's a revised version that might get you where you're going (?):

    Add items to the list.
    my_cb. AddItem ({data: 1, label: "An object"});

    function cbListener(evt_obj:Object) {}
    var item_obj:Object = my_cb.selectedItem;
    var i: String;
    for {(i in item_obj)
    trace (I + ": \t" + item_obj);
    }
    trace("");
    };
    my_cb.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, cbListener);

  • Is it possible to open a control of type-def as string programmaticly combobox control, change it and then close by nodes invoke/property?

    This may sound crazy; but I was looking through methods and solution properties do the following:

    1. Open a cluster of type strict-def.

    2. Add an element in a chain of the Combobox control.

    3. Register the control.

    4. Close the type-def.

    LabVIEW provides the tools to do this within its broad range of pallets?

    Second step is easy, as long as the control or parent cluster is not a strict type def.

    G.R.

    It's tedious, but simple using the VI server / scripting.  First of all, make sure that the elements of additional scripts are enabled in the VI server options.  Now open the typedef as you would a VI.  In the scripts, a typedef is like a VI with no block diagram, only a front panel and control.  You can get a reference to the control that you need to change in one of the following two ways:

    1. Open its containers from top to bottom, using the reference container as the entrance to the owner for the opening of the new control.

    2. Use of the crosses in the script palette VI

    In all cases, after change it, save using recording method tools and you should be good to go.  The most difficult part is to get the reference to the control.  If you are having problems, let us know.

  • How to use the combobox control to filter datagrid in Flash Builder 4?

    Hello

    I worked through the TestDrive with Flash Builder 4 application and I would like to know how to filter a datagrid using a combobox control.  I googled the subject and results for many different versions of Flash, some who look like they're going to take a considerable amount of time to implement.  I hope, with Flash Builder 4, there is a simple way to do this without writing code pages.

    I think I can be close to getting this work by passing the combobox value in a PHP script that queries the database with a WHERE clause.

    Thakns,

    David

    On the change of the ComboBox, you can filter on the ArrayCollection.source that contains the data. And define the table filtered as the dataprovider for a datagrid. Take a look at the function of class filter Array.

    Why do?

    First, set the prompt property of your comboBox control for "-select -" or something like that

    Then, you can control whether the selectedIndex property of your combobox is greater than-1.

  • Help, DG filtering using the combobox controls and the text box

    I have a DG populated an arrayCollection collection. I have a text input where I can type in my search criteria to filter the DG. I also have a combo box that contains a list of all the columns in my DG, so I can determine what column to apply the filter.

    I was able to make a filter text on a DG in the past, if I use a static data in my arraycollection collection name, but this time I want it to be dynamic using the drop-down list box.
    Here is an example of my configuration:
    DG contains columns A, B, C, D and E. The drop-down list box contains the choices A, B, C, D and E - including the label and the value of the data are the same in this case. If I select choices from the drop-down list box and start typing in my text entry, the DG should start to filter according to my entry that is contrary to the values of column D.

    Here's my code work for static column D filtering:
    private function filterColumn (): void {}
    sFilter = TextFilter.text;
    myAC.filterFunction = doFilter;
    myAC.refresh ();
    }
    private void doFilter(obj:Object):Boolean {}
    var result: Boolean = false;
    If (! obj.) D.Length | obj. D.toUpperCase () .indexOf (sFilter.toUpperCase ()) > = 0) {}
    result = true;
    }
    return the result;
    }

    This code will allow me to type in text and it will only filter the D column. The value of the combo box has no importance at this stage.

    I need the code to make what use the value combobox.selectedItem.data instead of D. However when I try this, he told me - TypeError: Error #1123: filter operator is not compatible with the Object type

    Using most of the above code, I just changed the IF statement to:
    If (! obj.) (cbx.selectedItem.data) .length | obj. ((cbx.selectedItem.data) .toUpperCase () .indexOf (sFilter.toUpperCase ()) > = 0)
    And which generates the above error.

    Can someone help me find a way to replace by a static column for the dynamic combobox value value? Any help is appreciated.

    I thought about it.

    If (! obj [cbx.selectedItem.data] .length: obj [cbx.selectedItem.data] .toUpperCase () .indexOf (sFilter.toUpperCase ()) > = 0)

  • Referring to a ComboBox control dynamically in function

    I am trying to add things in a piece of XML data for all ComboBox components in a movie. I'm trying to go through a loop for () that calls a function for each ComboBox stored in a table name. I've tried several things, but I get no result or the same error 'the class or interface 'ComboBox' could not be loaded'... it returned an error:

  • Definition of results of the label text of the indication in the ComboBox control does not

    Hi all

    I created a form of table ADF Swing. Then, in a tab of the properties of the attributes of the dialog editor of Table Bindning, I put one of the fields as a ComboBox Editor.

    When the form is lance everything is ok - this field drop downs combobox with data from another VO.

    But when I put text field of the label of the tab to control EO or VO indicators stops ComboBox works - it works as if it was default editor - textfield, i.e. it displays the value of a base table.

    The following approach is not good, but in any case, I would like to note that when I change an attribute value 'name' of the 'AttrProp' tag to that of I put in the text field of the label of the EO (the ' label'):

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >
    < pageDefinition...
    ...
    < links >
    < table...
    ...
    < AttrProp name = "Label" >
    ...
    < / pageDefinition >

    at the launch of the form everything starts working again, but when I try to change this field by just clicking the value/text field the following exception is thrown:
    oracle.jbo.NoDefException: Houston-25058: definition of Curr type attribute in SomeView1 not found.

    I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 (Build JDEVADF_10.1.3.3.0_NT_070619.1129.4157), ADF - 10.1.3.41.57 business components.

    Can I kindly ask someone to address the issue?

  • Customization of the style (font, color, etc.) of a combobox control

    Hello

    Is anyone know how to change the police and look across to a ComboBox in Flash / ActionScript 3?

    There are theme files, I could download, or a script that I can use?

    I'm quite familiar with AS3 / Flash, but have never had need of a combobox so far of the skin.

    Pointers would be much appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    Ben

    You can style the main text (assuming your name of the instance of cb combobox) with:

    var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("Arial", 24, 0xFF0000);
    cb.textField.setStyle ("textFormat", tf);

    the drop is more problematic - I have never been able to properly do this style (perhaps because it is not created until it must be displayed if setStyle gets ignored?)

  • How can I set up an instance of the comboBox control to a certain value (without to know the index number)?

    When I have a variable which says she must be selected to for example, how to do this, without having to understand the index number for each State?

    You could loop through the combobox items to find and set the selection...
