As an addition I probably would use the dojox.data.QueryReadStore store since the combobox has rather lots of data (user selection)

Still couldn't make it work :|
Is this possible or do I have to use predefined values?

just putting topic back to top, still no idea how I can make this work.. any ideas?

I think, at a minimum, you will need to specify a searchAttr. ComboBox doesn't seem to work without this, even outside the grid. However, I can't get this to work, either, even with the searchAttr (Note that the one I have outside the grid works as expected). Here is my code:

	
	var siteIdStore = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({ url: 'getRateSiteIds.ajax'});
	var rateStore = new dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore ({url: 'getRates.ajax'});

    var view1 = {
            cells: [
                       [
			{ name: 'Type', field: 'type', width:"10em",
                          editor:dojox.grid.editors.Dijit },
			{ name: 'Site Id', field: 'siteId', width:"12em", 
			  editor: dojox.grid.editors.Dijit, 
                          editorClass: "dijit.form.ComboBox",
                          store: siteIdStore,
                          searchAttr: "siteId" },
			{ name: 'Rate', field: 'rate', width:"7em",
                          editor: dojox.grid.editors.Dijit }
	                ]
                ]
        };  

	var layout = [ view1 ];


 
	

	

Watching the firebug console, its apparent that, when used in the grid, the ComboBox never tries to access the store (that is, the url of the store is never called). It seems that some event must not be firing.

Can anyone else help out with this?

Thanks,

Hi, Grid doesn't use widgets directly like you all are trying to do. It in fact lays an additional API on top of the widgets. That's why the ComboBox outside works, but the one inside doesn't.

The correct editor is dojox.grid.editors.ComboBox. Here is a sample with all of the dijits in a grid:
http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/grid/tests/test...

I'm still researching Grid, but from your snippet, I *think* it is more like this:

editor: dojox.grid.editors.ComboBox works if you specify options (as in the example), but I still can't get it to work with store. I tried:

var view1 = {
            rows: [
                     [
			{ name: 'Type', field: 'type', width:"10em", editor:dojox.grid.editors.Dijit },
			{ name: 'Site Id', field: 'siteId', width:"12em",  
				editor: dojox.grid.editors.ComboBox, 
				store: siteIdStore,
				searchAttr: "siteId" },
			{ name: 'Rate', field: 'rate', width:"7em", editor: dojox.grid.editors.Dijit }
	             ]
                ]
        };

But no luck. Still doesn't trigger the store to fetch the data.

I dug around in dojox/grid/_data/dijitEditors.js, and by default, the grid's combobox is set up to create a new store from the options passed to it, instead of checking if a store is provided by the user. I found that by extending grid.editors.ComboBox, you can alter it's behavior to read an external store:

Here's a test grid that uses a combobox with a store in one column, and a combobox that uses options in another:

EDIT: Initially, this always had a default searchAttr of "name", and ignored the user-specified searchAttr; I thought I fixed this by adding in the line with "this.editorClass.prototype.searchAttr". However, that breaks the comboboxes with options specified. So, I added in the line: "this.cell.editor.editorClass.superclass.searchAttr = "name";", but it does the same thing... Still working on a solution.

hi create a Dialog box through Spring get Jsp From Controller and Display as Dialog ho to set Script Scope

Hey i have made the suggested changes but one small issue i am facing is, my combobox send's the invalue as name itself well i have kept options as the id, but it is sending the name, like {john , 1 } so when i select john the inValue received by my xhr request is john , i want it to be 1.

to uwf_doc:

Excellent work, functions exactly as promised (using version 1.1.1).

Does anyone know if this will be added / fixed in the next release? (v 1.1.1 +)

Thanks!
