SelectItem (setselected item and getselected item)

[paatal]

hi all,
how i can set selected and get selected item ?
i found example how to get selected item into on change event, but i don't need this, i want to get selected item on submit button click, also i want to set selected item when my dialog opened, and selectitem component is already filled.

I want to get selected ID not text value.


Any Idea ?

is this so difficult ?

    btnSubmit.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {

      public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
        selectItem.getSelectedRecord().getAttributeAsInt("id");
      }
    });

is this what you need?

hi,
Thank you very much for your post.
I'm coming from "java swing world" and maybe I'm on a wrong way.
My code snippets:

LinkedHashMap<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
map.put("key1"," "Value 1 ");
map.put("key2"," "Value 2 ");
map.put("key3"," "Value 3 ");
map.put("key4"," "Value 4 ");
map.put("key5"," "Value 5 ");
.................... some other code
DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
................... some other code
ComboBoxItem cbItem = new ComboBoxItem();
cbItem.setRequired(true);
cbItem.setTitle("Select : ");
cbItem.setTitleAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
// fill
cbItem.setValueMap(map);

................... some other code
Button btnSubmit.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
      public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
         // i choose "Value 3" from combobox
         // how i can get "Key3" ????
      }
});

how i understand it is impossible to put Objects into combobox. it must be only String values.


and what about setting selection:
in my example i have 5 values into combobox.
now i want to selected 3rd element selected. how ?

This it appears to be working:

    LinkedHashMap<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
    map.put("key1", "Value 1 ");
    map.put("key2", "Value 2 ");
    map.put("key3", "Value 3 ");
    map.put("key4", "Value 4 ");
    map.put("key5", "Value 5 ");

    DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();

    final ComboBoxItem cbItem = new ComboBoxItem();
    cbItem.setRequired(true);
    cbItem.setTitle("Select : ");
    cbItem.setTitleAlign(com.smartgwt.client.types.Alignment.LEFT);

    cbItem.setValueMap(map);

    IButton btnSubmit = new IButton("sumbmit");
    btnSubmit.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
      public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
        com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.alert((String)cbItem.getValue());
        cbItem.setValue("key5");
        com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.alert((String)cbItem.getValue());
      }
    });

    form.setFields(cbItem);

    HLayout hLayout = new HLayout();
    hLayout.addMember(form);
    hLayout.addMember(btnSubmit);

    hLayout.draw();
