jump to a record in a combobox using the keyboard

[ahsec]

Hello

I'm using a combobox. I want to know how I can jump to a certain record using the keyboard. i.e:

when opening the dropdown list, when I type "c" I'd like to jump to the records that start with "c".

I already know that the feature exists when the combobox is editable. However, I need to have mine non-editable, and still be able to "jump to" a certain letter.

Does anybody know how?

Thanks

Like this?

Ext.create('Ext.form.field.ComboBox', {
    editable: false,
    enableKeyEvents: true,
    renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
    store: ['Volvo', 'Saab', 'Fiat', 'Audi'],
    
    listeners: {
        keyup: function(combo, event) {
            var key = String.fromCharCode(event.getKey()),
                boundList = combo.getPicker(),
                store = boundList.getStore(),
                record = store.findRecord(combo.displayField, key);

            if (record) {
                boundList.highlightItem(boundList.getNode(record));
            }
        }
    }
});

Works like charm!!!


B.t.w

I've been trying to use your extension to add a combo box in a cell inside a grid...but I couldn't

Where can I contact you in private?

Thanks

You could send me a PM on the forums.

Please make sure you've read the forum thread and the page on my website about the extension before you send me any questions directly.
