Hello Jack,

that;s a lot of suggestions from me today :D

This time it's about the combobox being able to be a listbox with a switch or directly making a new listbox element.
I read about other request wanting also multiple selects. Don't know what's the status on this, though.
Like I wrote here: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5772,
i would like the dropdownbox to be visible at all times (aka listbox) instead of beeing a dropdownbox.

Thanks Jack for this great work you've done till now!!!

I second this request.

Checkbox fields are great, but do not behave similarly to a normal HTML select control, i.e. returning an array of checked options for php. I realize one can give the fields the same name and hope for the best, but this seemingly only works for radiofields. Checkboxes instead return something like "ValueName1=on" for each option, instead of a single key name with multiple selected options as the array/delimited value.

An even better request would have been for instead of allowing an Ext listbox, to instead have a dropdown combo-style checked list field. This would safe valuable space on a form.

And one up on that request, would be to have a dropdown checked tree list (using the new upcoming checked tree control). This way checked options could be "classed"/grouped into subtrees as well.

For now, I'll try to use the triggerfield to get a similar effect.

TIA.
