>Is there a possibility to add this feature to ComboBox?
Dany,
It could certainly be added, but I would like you to consider thinking about it
a different way. Rather than adding more heft to the base component, we could
add another object that interacted with the ComboBox to facilitate that
selection for you. This could be done a number of different ways. This is one
way I have implemented it and something I want to discuss here.
It is the idea of adding behaviors to items, so, in my approach, I have
something like a ComboBox:
<ComboBox dataProvider="blah">
<behaviors>
<ValueSelectionBehavior id="vsb" dataProvideValueField="someID"
selectedValue="{someThingElse.someValue}/>
</behaviors>
</ComboBox>
In this way we have just defined an interface for the Behavior classes and a
minimal extension to UIComponent for a property and registration step. However,
we have enable people to add a pay as you go approach to adding behavior to
components. It's something that has worked well for us and, eventually, I would
like us to consider here as it has made extending and adding to Flex without
bloating all of the base components much easier.
