Thanks Peeyush. That helps.
We have  referred everywhere across our code and changing all
the instances is a bigger change. I guess, for this very reason creating a
an extended base components one time and using with custom namespace across
the app is a good idea.
We just turned back to 3.4 (as we cannot rely on the nightly 3.6 builds),
now that we are just a build away from going live.

Thanks again,
~ Arun

2010-04-04 Thread Peeyush Tuli
Override the combobox class in a custom component and add the following code
-

private var mDropDown:ListBase;
override public function set dataProvider(value:Object):void
  {
super.dataProvider = value;
   //Bug in Flex SDK 3.5: Once the data provider is set and list base is
created
   //change in dataProvider does not reflect change in shared dataProvider
of listbase
   mDropDown = dropdown;
if(mDropDown)
{
 validateSize(true);
 mDropDown.dataProvider = super.dataProvider;
 if(isNaN(preferredDropDownWidth))
  mDropDown.width = width;
 else
  mDropDown.width = preferredDropDownWidth;
}
  }

[flexcoders] combobox, sdk 3.5 bug, any workarounds?

Any one has a quick workaround for this sdk 3.5 bug.

It is also seen when you just pop-up a title window containing a Combobox
and try to change the dataprovider (doesnt get refreshed until you try to
click one of the items).
