public class MultiComboBoxItem
extends CanvasItem

A MultiComboBoxItem is a combo box that allows the user to select multiple options. Each selected option is represented as a button that can be clicked to deselect the option. The relative layout of the buttons to the combo box is specified with the layoutStyle attribute. The buttons will be kept in the order that they were added, with the most recently added button being adjacent to the combo box. MultiComboBoxItem uses the com.smartgwt.client.types.AutoChild pattern to construct the comboBox and the buttons so that they can be easily customized. For example, you can customize the criteria used to fetch by using ComboBoxItem.setPickListFilterCriteriaFunction() with setComboBoxProperties().

setShouldSaveValue

public MultiComboBoxItem setShouldSaveValue(java.lang.Boolean shouldSaveValue)

Should this item's value be saved in the form's values and hence returned from form.getValues()?

shouldSaveValue:false is used to mark formItems which do not correspond to the underlying data model and should not save a value into the form's values. Example includes visual separators, password re-type fields, or checkboxes used to show/hide other form items.

A shouldSaveValue:false item should be given a value either via FormItem.defaultValue or by calling form.setValue(item, value) or formItem.setValue(value). Providing a value via form.values or form.setValues() will automatically switch the item to shouldSaveValue:true.

Note that

• if an item is shouldSaveValue true, but has no name, a warning is logged, and shouldSaveValue will be set to false.

Overrides:

setShouldSaveValue in class CanvasItem

Parameters:

shouldSaveValue - New shouldSaveValue value. Default value is true

Returns:

MultiComboBoxItem instance, for chaining setter calls

getShouldSaveValue

public java.lang.Boolean getShouldSaveValue()

Should this item's value be saved in the form's values and hence returned from form.getValues()?

shouldSaveValue:false is used to mark formItems which do not correspond to the underlying data model and should not save a value into the form's values. Example includes visual separators, password re-type fields, or checkboxes used to show/hide other form items.

A shouldSaveValue:false item should be given a value either via FormItem.defaultValue or by calling form.setValue(item, value) or formItem.setValue(value). Providing a value via form.values or form.setValues() will automatically switch the item to shouldSaveValue:true.

Note that

• if an item is shouldSaveValue true, but has no name, a warning is logged, and shouldSaveValue will be set to false.

Overrides:

getShouldSaveValue in class CanvasItem

Returns:

Current shouldSaveValue value. Default value is true

setUseInsertionOrder

public MultiComboBoxItem setUseInsertionOrder(java.lang.Boolean useInsertionOrder)

Specifies whether to arrange the buttons of the MultiComboBoxItem in the order that they were selected (the default), or to sort the buttons by displayField.

Parameters:

Note : This API is non-functional (always returns null) and exists only to make you aware that this MultiAutoChild exists. See Using AutoChildren for details.

The layout used to arrange the comboForm and the buttons representing the values of the MultiComboBoxItem. Note that the constructor cannot be changed (setting a valueLayoutConstructor has no effect) because the exact layout class used depends on the current layout style.

Returns:

null

pendingStatusChanged

public boolean pendingStatusChanged(DynamicForm form,
                                    FormItem item,
                                    boolean pendingStatus,
                                    java.lang.Object newValue,
                                    java.lang.Object value)

Notification method called when showPending is enabled and this MultiComboBoxItem should either clear or show its pending visual state.

The default behavior is that the titleStyle and cellStyle are updated to include/exclude the "Pending" suffix. In addition, when displayed in the pending state and a pendingButtonStyle is set, then:

• If useInsertionOrder is false, buttons for any new values will have their baseStyle set to pendingButtonStyle; otherwise
• (useInsertionOrder is true) buttons for values will have their baseStyle set to pendingButtonStyle if either the value is new or it is in a different place within the value array.

Returning false will cancel this default behavior.

Parameters:

form - the managing DynamicForm instance.

item - the form item itself (also available as "this").

pendingStatus - true if the item should show its pending visual state; false otherwise.

newValue - the current form item value.

value - the value that would be restored by a call to DynamicForm.resetValues().

Returns:

false to cancel the default behavior.

showValue

public void showValue(java.lang.Object displayValue,
                      java.lang.Object dataValue,
                      DynamicForm form,
                      CanvasItem item)

This method will be called whenever this FormItem's value is being set via a programmatic call to e.g: DynamicForm.setValues() or FormItem.setValue() and may be overridden by CanvasItems intended to support displaying data values to update the embedded Canvas to reflect the value passed in.

The value of a MultiComboBoxItem to the form is an array of valueField values corresponding to the selected combo box options.

Parameters:

displayValue - new display value for the item. This is the value after applying any custom formatter or valueMap

dataValue - underlying data value for the item

form - the dynamicForm in which this item is contained

item - the live form item instance

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(MultiComboBoxItem multiComboBoxItemProperties)

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:

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