Dear Friends,
Can anyone, please help me by telling me the step by step process of, how to manage and add custom combobox to Wavemaker on the dialog.
Thanks,
Anna W Brown
Well if you have an editable grid, and your editable column needs a ComboBox as an editor, follow this method:
Â
Â
Field name: Name of Grid’s field
Options: Array of strings as options for the ComboBox
Â
As an example to add a ComboBox to a grid of employees to specify their manager, assuming that manager is a related table:
var data = this.managerLiveVariable.getData();
var options = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
  options.push(data[i].firstname + " " + data[i].lastname);
this.dojoGrid1.setColumnComboBoxOptions("manager", options);
Â
To map this display value back to the original data value:
getManagerIdByName: function(inName) {
var data = this.managerLiveVariable.getData();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
  if (data[i].firstname + " " + data[i].lastname == inName) {
      return data[i].managerid;
  }
  return 0;
}
dojoGrid1CellEditted: function(inSender, inValue, inRowIndex, inFieldName) {
  var rowData = this.dojoGrid1.getRow(inRowIndex);
  if (inFieldName == "manager") {
      var managerId = this.getManagerIdByName(inValue);
      this.writeUserVar.sourceData.setData({
             "userid": rowData.userid,
             "manager": {"managerid": managerId}});
      this.writeUserVar.update();
  }
}
