Ext.field.Select using Store

[nak1]

I've got a question; when I reload a store that is being used by an Ext.field.Select object, it fires the "change" event, even though the user hasn't selected a new option. I was wonder if there was a way to avoid the Select field from selecting the first item, or is there some other listener that I'm missing which would be more like a "select" event?

You would have to override the Select field to do that. It is at the end of the showPicker method:

    showPicker: function() {
        //check if the store is empty, if it is, return
        if (this.getStore().getCount() === 0) {
            return;
        }

        if (this.getReadOnly()) {
            return;
        }

        this.isFocused = true;

        //hide the keyboard
        //the causes https://sencha.jira.com/browse/TOUCH-1679
        // Ext.Viewport.hideKeyboard();

        if (this.getUsePicker()) {
            var picker = this.getPhonePicker(),
                name   = this.getName(),
                value  = {};

            value[name] = this.record.get(this.getValueField());
            picker.setValue(value);
            if (!picker.getParent()) {
                Ext.Viewport.add(picker);
            }
            picker.show();
        } else {
            var listPanel = this.getTabletPicker(),
                list = listPanel.down('list'),
                store = list.getStore(),
                index = store.find(this.getValueField(), this.getValue(), null, null, null, true),
                record = store.getAt((index == -1) ? 0 : index);

            if (!listPanel.getParent()) {
                Ext.Viewport.add(listPanel);
            }

            listPanel.showBy(this.getComponent());
            list.select(record, null, true);
        }

Thanks for the response. I was wondering, is it possible to accomplish what you're suggesting with a sequence process? I'm a litltle leary of overriding the entire method.
