Re: Modular code (was: ComboBox Selection (was: combo box))

Hi Erik, this was discussed in the past here on the list - you can check it here. Frédéric Thomas have started to put this into practice (for UIComponent) and the

Re: combo box

Ok, in my (brand new) github at [1] I tried to reimplement the thing, refactoring the EmptyItemComboBox code into an IList implementation as suggested by Alex. I also quickly adapted the same simple test app that I attached to the stackoverflow response to see the class in action [2]. [1] https:

Re: combo box

The EmptyItemComboBox class posted by David Coleman looks similar to some code I posted years ago on StackOverflow [1]. I added some explanation and a snippet of code showing its usage there. I'm not particularly proud of this code, but didn't managed to find a better way. The behavior approach se

I think that it would be beneficial to have them as native behaviors (if they are delicately and correctly implemented). > Subject: Re: ComboBox Selection (was: combo box) > From: archeme...@mac.com > Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:51:13 +0200 > To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org > >

Hello All, I haven't spoken yet on this list although I have been receiving mail for a few months. I have been developing Flex applications for a number of years now (professionally), and I have found the pattern that Mike suggests to be something I have used time and again. I would argue that

Re: ComboBox Selection (was: combo box)

Hi Mike, The behavior solution would be an acceptable solution. Whether the functionality should be implemented in the base component or higher up is up to the contributors with their level of expertise but the use case of setting a combobox' selected item by an arbitrary value id is very commo
