Unable to have TwinTriggerField with initial value

[sgolla]

I am trying something which suppose to be trivial, but it does not work for me: Have a twintriggerfield with an initial value / text displayed in it when rendering anywhere:




TwinTriggerField ttf = new TwinTriggerField();
ttf.getId(); // call ensures an unique id set.

ttf.setAutoValidate(false);
ttf.setValidateOnBlur(false);

ttf.setHideLabel(true);

ttf.enableEvents(true);
ttf.setWidth(300);

ttf.setTriggerStyle("x-form-search-trigger"); // trigger1.
ttf.setTwinTriggerStyle("x-form-clear-trigger"); // trigger2.

Listener<FieldEvent> clearListener = new Listener<FieldEvent>() {
public void handleEvent(FieldEvent evt) {
TwinTriggerField oSource = (TwinTriggerField) evt.component;
oSource.setRawValue("");
}
};

ttf.setRawValue("Some initial value here");
ttf.selectAll();

ttf.addListener(Events.TwinTriggerClick, clearListener); // trigger2.



The field shows up, but i cannot see the value which i set: "Some initial value here" inside by textbox. Hope some one can help!

Thank you

setRawValue only works rendered. Use setValue or first render the field and than use setRawValue
