ComboBox disable text entry solution

[vtswingkid]

First off, if there is alreay a way to disable text entry please inform me.

If not could we please add this or something similar to the code.



Ext.form.ComboBox.prototype.fireKey=function(e){
if(e.isNavKeyPress() && !this.list.isVisible()){
this.fireEvent("specialkey", this, e);
}
if(this.noType)e.stopEvent();
};

Silly me I suppose I could have just used maskRe.

Still is there a better way? Maybe a way with out focus to the textbox itself while the combo still functions properly?

I guess you can use editable config option and set it to false to prevent text input. Alternatively you can use setEditable() method at run-time for the same effect. I hope this solves the problem.

Thanks!

I must be getting tired. Overlooked this I don't know how many times.



editable:Boolean
False to prevent the user from typing text directly into the field, just like a traditional select (defaults to true)
