[SOLVED] Combobox - selection by ID

[mchrustek]

Hi.
I have something like this [combobox of course :)]:



var names = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
fieldLabel: 'Choose name',
hiddenName:'id',
store: new Ext.data.SimpleStore({
fields: ['id', 'name_value'],
data : comboBox.names
}),
displayField:'name_value',
typeAhead: true,
mode: 'local',
triggerAction: 'all',
emptyText:'Choose from the list...',
selectOnFocus:true,
width:175,
value: 'Mike'
});


names.js looks like this:


Ext.namespace('comboBox');

comboBox.names = [
['1', 'Mike'],
['2', 'Andrew'],
(...)

Instead of setting default selection by name (last row: value: 'Mike') I'd like to set default selected item by it's 'id', not by name. How can I do it? I tried all of 'select', 'setValue', selectByValue' etc.

Thank you very much for help.
Mike

You haven't included a valueField in your combo's config.




Ext.namespace('comboBox');

comboBox.names = [
[1, 'Mike'],
[2, 'Andrew'],
//...

var names = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
fieldLabel: 'Choose name',
hiddenName:'nameid',
store: new Ext.data.SimpleStore({
fields: ['id', 'name_value'],
data : comboBox.names
}),
displayField:'name_value',
valueField: 'id',
typeAhead: true,
mode: 'local',
triggerAction: 'all',
emptyText:'Choose from the list...',
selectOnFocus:true,
width:175,
value: 1
});

// ...

names.setValue(1);

Btw, I changed the data to integer (1) instead of string ('1').

I've included 'hiddenName' and 'valueField', but for some reason I've deleted them while modyfying for the example included in this post (by mistake).
Of course 'names.setValue(1);' works perfectly. Thank you for your help.
