Thanks for the report - I'm posting a new version within the next 24 or 48 hours - this will include bug fixes and remote store support.

Thanks again,

Dan

I'm using getFieldValues() for now - it seems to work just fine.

UPDATE 07/09/2009

*NEW* Remote compatability - you are no longer limited to a local store!
Multiple bug fixes (many browser version specific).

Updated the First Post and uploaded new attachment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please see the new example page for 2 remote store demo's.

Note. There are still a few small refactorings that I would like to do, but I'm primarily concerned with getting bug reports and some feedback on the remote functionality as I work towards releasing the current features as a stable version 1 release.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan, you rock! This is a great component. I was using a ScriptTagProxy to get around the remote problems, but I was able to remove all that and use a simple JsonStore now.

@boonkerz - thanks for the feedback.

@mratzloff - I presume then that everything's working well for you - thanks for posting - that's good to hear.

It is, thanks. I have a couple of relatively simple suggestions for the component, though.

* Add an addItems({Array<Object>}) method that calls addItem() for each object in an array.

Ext.ux.form.SuperBoxSelect.prototype.addItems = function(items) {
	if (Ext.isArray(items)) {
		Ext.each(items, function(item) {
			this.addItem(item);
		}, this);
	} else {
		this.addItem(items);
	}
};

* When you clear the box, it should fire a removeallitems event, and there should be a config parameter for whether or not you want removeAllItems() to fire the removeitem event. Here's the problem: say I have an alert box that pops up for every deleted item: "Are you sure you want to delete this item?" The removeAllItems() method makes this alert appear for every item in the box--very inconvenient. (You might respond that I should not have an alert box appear, but the data I'm using for this is more comprehensive than simple text tags. It's mapping complex objects together, and in this case deletes should happen rarely.)

* Split up the renderFieldBtns option into separate configs for each button. For a remote store with thousands of items, the drop-down button doesn't really make sense.

Thanks again!

...When you clear the box, it should fire a removeallitems event...

might i suggest an event name of clear or clearAll instead?

I actually originally had that, but I saw that the method was removeAllItems().
