autoSelect on Combo?

[javabee]

Hi all, i'm having a couple of problems using the combo for a simpleStore? Combo populates fine but never autoSelects the first element? If i enforce selection though setValue etc then this is fine but if i try to access the value using getValue() it returns the value of the 'displayField' e.g in this case 'first'/'second' etc. If i then select an item from the list and then access the value again using getValue() then it returns 1/2/3 as would be expected? Its almost as if the 'values' are not set until the combo receives a 'select' event?



var store = new Ext.data.SimpleStore(
{
id: 'testStore',
fields: ['id','description'],
data : [['1','first'],['2','second'],['3','third']]
});

var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox(
{
store: store,
displayField: 'description',
valueField: 'id',
mode: 'local'
});

ok, i understand now that the autoSelect has nothing to do with selecting the first result or item in the results array. I then thought i'd found another user with the same problem at

Similar issue but the solution didn't work for me, i've tried using the ArrayStore in place of the SimpleStore but still not getting a fix :(

Maybe this helps.


forceSelection : Boolean

If you just want your combobox to show the first item, you can just manually hard code it like this:



var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox(
{
store: store,
displayField: 'description',
valueField: 'id',
mode: 'local' ,
value: '1'
});
