[2.x] Ext.ux.Andrie.Select (ComboBox with multiSelect)

[pozirk]

1. Open window
2. Select Tab1
3. Select something in multi-combo
4. Select Tab2
5. Select Tab1 again
6. Here is the bug

Tested in Mozilla 2.0.9, IE6, Opera 9.23.

I also advice you to add check of 'v == null' in setValue() method, cause it triggers error while trying v.split() with 'v = null' passed.

hmm - true. It happens when the list is expanded and you select the second tab, and back.

because of my location and terminal, i have a reqiest in order to process the bug quicker:please put ext-debug-all.js instead of ext-all.js - thanks

@diehard_mib : thanks. Done. I will wait to see how this width/tab issue solves out and then publish an update

Hi Andrie,
Thanks for all your effort and nice job that you done!
Just a quick question:
Does your program can generate a "Multi Combo Box" that has "Autotext" as well.
I mean I want a Combobox with both facility of autosuggest and Multiselect.
If your program does not have this facility, do you have any plan to do that?
Please advice
Thanks,
Mehran

Hi there,

Great work on this! I was able to get it up and running in my Editor Grid with just one small problem. If the initial values for the field in my grid were multiple selections, then the very first time I open the multiselect box, the selections aren't selected. I traced this to the case where setValue is called before onLoad (as is the case in my code in the editor on the first open). If the value is an array like [ 4, 1 ], then in onLoad the selectByValue is called with [ "4, 1" ] instead of [ 4, 1 ].

I changed this line in onLoad and all was well:
this.selectByValue(this.value, true);
to
this.selectByValue(this.valueArray, true);

Hope this helps!

@mishanian - you don't need to publish the same thing twice. No, you cannot have editable (and implicitly typeAhead) when you use this component with multiSelect:true. The thing is like this: how should this work? imagine you have a country list and you selected already United States and Germany. Then you type "Fra"... what should happen now?... you should definitely have France available... but what happens with the other two?.. should they be also in the list?.. so... typeAhead should work more like... filter the non-selected items and show them in addition to the selected ones?!

2nd thing - imagine you have the field with United States selected.. so you see the text "United States" in the field. When you start typing in the field, what should happen? Should it overwrite the text and start filtering?.. Should it leave the text alone, and just expand the list, and filter it based on the text?

I would really be happy to see some comments on this, people.

@jeff.levine - I will carefully look into this and similar events. A real thanks!

@pozirk - Thanks. I will look into it right now! and come back with the results

Hi, I have just tested the latest version in editgrid, but got error: "v have no property". (noted: the version before 12/11/07, no problems). -- Settled by PaloAlto's version.
One more, do u have any ideas about when double clicked grid cell, highlight the exist items (history) on selection menu?

Sorry Andrei,
I really like your excellent program. Maybe we can have 2 different text box: 1) for search and 2) for showing the selected countries and 3) ofcourse something like add button when your search selected, selection add to "Selected Items"

I appreciate if you can help me in this issue,
Mehran
