public class SelectOtherItem
extends SelectItem

FormItem that shows a list of options, plus an "Other..." option that allows them to enter another value.

Note - SelectOtherItem does not support using an optionDataSource, instead, use a normal SelectItem and use the specialValues to implement a way to add new DataSource records to the optionDataSource. This creates a UI more appropriate to optionDataSource: the otherValue option or options can be placed at the top of the list, so that scrolling to the bottom of a long list is not required. In addition, the specialValues system allows you to open a custom form or other UI for adding new DataSource records, rather than just the simple single-value input dialog of SelectOtherItem.

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(SelectOtherItem selectOtherItemProperties)

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

selectOtherItemProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
