How to set default value to ComboBox

[treblereel]

Hi folks,

I have problems while i am trying to set default value to ComboBox using departmentComboBox.setValue(departmentStore.getAt(0)). I think, it doesnt work coz store is empty at the moment. How can i fix it ?

    private ComboBox<BeanModel> doDepartmentComboBox(){
         ListStore<BeanModel>  departmentStore;
         final DepartmentServiceAsync departmentService = GWT.create(DepartmentService.class);
         ListLoader<?> loader;
         
         RpcProxy<List<DepartmentDTO>> DepartmentProxy = new RpcProxy<List<DepartmentDTO>>() {
             @Override
             protected void load(Object loadConfig, AsyncCallback<List<DepartmentDTO>> callback) {
                 departmentService.getDepartments("1",callback);
             }
         }; 
         
             loader = new BaseListLoader<ListLoadResult<ModelData>>(DepartmentProxy,new BeanModelReader());
            departmentStore = new ListStore<BeanModel>(loader);
            departmentStore.setMonitorChanges(true);
            loader.load();
        
        
        departmentComboBox = new ComboBox<BeanModel>();
        departmentComboBox.setDisplayField("name");  
        departmentComboBox.setWidth(150);
        departmentComboBox.setName("department");
        departmentComboBox.setFieldLabel("Department");
        departmentComboBox.setAllowBlank(false);
        departmentComboBox.setEditable(false);
        departmentComboBox.setValue(departmentStore.getAt(0));
        departmentComboBox.setStore(departmentStore);  
        departmentComboBox.setTypeAhead(true);  
        departmentComboBox.setTriggerAction(TriggerAction.ALL); 
        
        return departmentComboBox;
    }

You must set value after loading data. so you can add setValue(...) method after callback response.

I advice you:

RpcProxy<List<DepartmentDTO>> DepartmentProxy = new RpcProxy<List<DepartmentDTO>>() {
             @Override
             protected void load(Object loadConfig, AsyncCallback<List<DepartmentDTO>> callback) {
                 departmentService.getDepartments("1",callback);

 departmentComboBox.setValue(departmentStore.getAt(0));


             }
         };

Right idea harun, but I would move that to a listener on the Loader.Load event coming from the loader instance, so that you know that the server has already sent back the results, instead of setting the value as soon as the request is made.

thanks for answer. but combox is populating only after i click to combo. How do i can load and set value after attach ? something like Events.attach => combo.getStore.getLoader.load ?

Hi, you can easily listen attach event like:

myComboBox.addListener( Events.Attach, new Listener<BaseEvent>() {
			@Override
			public void handleEvent( BaseEvent be)
			{
				// your code what you want
			}
		} );
