Re: [flexcoders] Modify Flex ComboBox DataProvider
If your problem is similar to that discussed on -
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2642802
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;
}
}
The problem is also solved in 3.6 sdk .

Re: [flexcoders] Modify Flex ComboBox DataProvider
hi Alex,
Prior to SDK 4, is there a build after 3.5?
Thanks for this info. I can't seem to get the way out of this and it dawned on
me now that it must have been a bug.
Thank you.

There’s a bug like that in Flex 3.5. Older and newer versions don’t have that
problem.

I am finding some issues when I am trying to change a combobox's data provider.
I have a checkbox that would trigger whether a combobox would use an
xmlListCollection of all Locations (xmllcAll) or an XMLListCollection of just a
subset of locations (xmllcSubset).
In the change event of my checkbox, I have defined:
private function checkBox1_change(e:Event) :void
{
if (e.currentTarget.selected == true)
{
comboBox1.dataProvider = xmllcAll;
}
else
{
comboBox1.dataProvider = xmllcSubset;
}
}
By default, the comboBox's default dataProvider is the xmllcSubset. When I
tick the checkbox, I expect that the data for the combobox should now map to
the data for the xmllcAll variable. The comboBox does not get the proper
values. Is there anything that I need to do to refresh the comboBox and make
the values that appear on the list those that were in the the proper
xmllistcollection?
Thanks.
Angelo
