Is there a way to set a default selected item in a Combobox? I do not see any methods in the API for Combobox that would do this.

Want to have one of the Comboboxitems visible by default instead of the blank.

thanks

ZK combobox doesn't work this way. It is a special input with a set of pre-defined values that user could select from. In other words, it does keep any state about what is selected. It simply copies the content to the input field.

In your case, you have to maintain it by application such as checking which is the most matched and restoring the last matched one(a bit tedious).

Hi, you could use the text attribute:

<combobox id="combo" text="Default">
<comboitem label="Simple and Rich"/>
<comboitem label="Cool!"/>
<comboitem label="Thumbs Up!"/>
</combobox>

Or

<zscript>
combo.setText("Default");
</zscript>


Bye

Good timing. I was just trying this by dynamically creating the Combobox from java.

Combobox comboBox = new Combobox();
comboBox.appendItem("and");
comboBox.appendItem("or");
comboBox.setWidth("40px");
comboBox.setText("default text here");

I am getting a javac compile error on the setText method call. I am not sure why. Any ideas?

[javac] C:\devel\workspace\src\java\condenserii\webtier\zkextensions\QueryBu
ilderRow.java:33: cannot access com.potix.lang.SystemException
[javac] file com\potix\lang\SystemException.class not found
[javac] comboBox.setText("default text here");

It seems that not all ZK jar files are in your classpath.
Verify that the file called pxcommon.jar is in your classpath.

Thanks. It was in my Eclipse classpath but not my Ant build file. All works now.

FYI, project management here is loving what ZK brings to the table.

Hi,

I'm trying to use ZK component to capture user input. When using combobox with autodrop=true, after entering some characters and press tab, the behaviour for IE and FF is different. On FF, focus changed to the dropdown list. For IE, dropdown list closed and focus changed but not to next field. (It jump to 3rd field. Not sure whether this is related to dropdown list's length). Attached ZUL show the issue.

Also, I would like to know whether these functions can be added to combobox

1) constriant which check the input must be in the list. (I like to use combobox instead of listbox if the list is long and the input is short, for example, enter country code).
2) autocomplete the entry if one item is uniquely identified in the dropdown list by pressing tab to exit.

Regards,
Michael

Post to Bugs. Thanks.

>> constriant which check the input must be in the list.

To popup an error box is simple:
public void onChange() {
...
throw new WrongValueException(this, "Something Wrong");

I'll consider whether to add this special constraint to SimpleContraint.

>> autocomplete the entry...
This can be done by listening onChange.

Again, whether to add a special feature, I have to consider kinds of implementations.
We use to sum up possible application and then provide a 'minimal' solution to cover most of them.

Hi,

my problem is:

There's a combobox, showing different dates (read from database) and depending on this date, additional information should be shown ( in a listbox..)

What I want to do:

read dates from database, provide combobox with these dates (down with foreach..), "autoselect" the first date and then show addional information according to that date...

First question: how do I the autoselect and call immediately any method...
Second Question: for the first time (in case of autoselecting the date), how can I hide the addional information ..???

regards,
heidi

to select the first item you can write in java:
((Comboitem)combobox.getFirstChild()).setSelected(true);
