Thank you very much!

We've fixed the issue you encountered with the combined criteria ending up mis-formed.
This fix will be present in the next nightly build dated May 5 or above.
In the meantime you could also use setPickListFilterCriteriaFunction() to dynamically create your own criteria object when the pickList is shown

Thank you, will verify when the build becomes available.

Hi Isomorphic,

The fix looks good; thank you.

However, I am still trying to determine the best way to change that criteria from iContains to iStartsWith.

                criteria:[
                    {
                        fieldName:"name",
                        operator:"iContains",
                        value:"A"
                    }
                ]

The text match style of the request is startsWith.

   textMatchStyle:"startsWith",

I tried a number of options on the pick list properties and the combo box item, but no luck.

For example:

com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.FormItem.setOperator(OperatorId)

// Passing DSRequest properties into the following...
DSRequest optionFilterContext = new DSRequest();
optionFilterContext.setTextMatchStyle(TextMatchStyle.STARTS_WITH);
com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.ComboBoxItem.setOptionFilterContext(DSRequest)
com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.ComboBoxItem.setPickListCriteria(DSRequest)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is supposed to be automatically derived from the textMatchStyle specified on the item itself (see comboBoxItem.setTextMatchStyle()) - but we see that isn't behaving as it should in this particular case.
We see the problem and are getting a fix checked in today (should be present in the next nightly build, dated May 7 or above).
If you need a workaround in the meantime, you can use setPickListFilterCriteriaFunction() to build your own custom criteria by hand.

Thanks; I can wait for the changes.

I did experiment a bit with setPickListFilterCriteriaFunction(), however, I couldn't seem to capture the currently typed value.

I had something like the following, but the item.getValueAsString() was null when I typed in the combo box. I suspect the value isn't in the item yet, but didn't see it available from the itemContext either. Any guidance here as to how I should be capturing the currently typed-in value?

            final String foreignDisplayField = "name";
            item.setPickListFilterCriteriaFunction(new FormItemCriteriaFunction() {

                @Override
                public Criteria getCriteria(FormItemFunctionContext itemContext) {
                    FormItem i = itemContext.getFormItem();
                    if (!(i instanceof ComboBoxItem)) return null;
                    ComboBoxItem item = (ComboBoxItem) i;
                    AdvancedCriteria c1 = new AdvancedCriteria(<some static criteria>);
                    boolean filterWithValue = item.getFilterWithValue();
                    if (filterWithValue) {
                        AdvancedCriteria c2 = new AdvancedCriteria(foreignDisplayField, OperatorId.ISTARTS_WITH, item.getValueAsString());
                        return DataSource.combineCriteria(c1, c2, CriteriaCombineOperator.AND);
                    }
                    return c1;
                }
            });

Additionally, the setPickListFilterCriteriaFunction() approach doesn't appear to be supported by the SelectItem? Is that correct?

Thanks

The getEnteredValue() method is appropriate to pick up the value currently in the text-box (which may not yet have been persisted to be the "current value" of the item)

Ah, thank you!
