Drop Down box shows current value as well?

[mtmattek]

so I get a drop down with Yes/No, but if "no" is selected and user selects, they get "No/Yes/No" in other words, No is already selected it should not be a choice.

it does have a value map?
newField.setCanToggle(false);
final LinkedHashMap<String, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<>(2);
activeValueMap.put("true", "Yes");
activeValueMap.put("false", "No");
newField.setValueMap(activeValueMap);

Hi mtmattek,

this sounds like a datatype problem.
It would happen if you value is "No", because the values of your Dropdown are the Strings "true" and "false".
This needs to match, e.g.:

final LinkedHashMap<Boolean, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<Boolean, String>(2);
activeValueMap.put(true, "Yes");
activeValueMap.put(false, "No");

Then use a Boolean value for the real data.

If you are using Strings and want to keep it that way try this:

final LinkedHashMap<String, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<String, String>(2);
activeValueMap.put("Yes", "Yes");
activeValueMap.put("No", "No");

well, now I get true or false with no other option...

the data is def. boolean:
copied from the RPC call gwtconsole:


active:false,

also (edit).. there's something in the GWTconsole:

12:55:12.970:XRP5:WARN:Log:JSO::convertMapToJavascriptObject : Value maps can only map from integral or String stored key values to String display values. Key true is not allowed.
12:55:12.971:XRP5:WARN:Log:JSO::convertMapToJavascriptObject : Value maps can only map from integral or String stored key values to String display values. Key false is not allowed.

If newField is a ListGridField, which I assume now because of the setCanToggle(false), you'll need to pass a ComboBoxItem/SelectItem as editorProperties.
Your goal is to have a Yes/No dropdown in edit mode instead of a CheckBox, correct?

yeah.. sorry.. didn't post that.. here's the code:

ListGridField newField = new ListGridField(attributeName,record.getAttribute("DisplayName"));
newField.setAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
newField.setCellAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
if (TagTemplatesFieldNames.TAG_TEMPLATE_KEY.toString().equals(attributeName)){
newField.setAttribute("primaryKey", true);


} else if (TagTemplatesFieldNames._ACTIVE.toString().equals(attributeName)){
newField.setCanToggle(false);
final LinkedHashMap<Boolean, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<>(2);
activeValueMap.put( true, "Yes");
activeValueMap.put(false, "No");
newField.setValueMap(activeValueMap);
}
if (!record.getAttributeAsBoolean("Editable")){
newField.setCanEdit(false);
}
gridFields.add(newField);

Almoste there.

Create the ComboBoxItem/SelectItem with its valueMap and set it to the field as editor via setEditorProperties().

yepp.. its close.. i get the INITIAL values as true/false. but when I click the box, I get No/Yes/No. Here's what I want. a drop down with Yes or No displayed initially, then the other option in a drop down.

SelectItem editor= new SelectItem();

                        final LinkedHashMap<Boolean, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<>(2);
                        activeValueMap.put( true, "Yes");
                        activeValueMap.put(false, "No");
                        editor.setValueMap(activeValueMap);
                    
                        newField.setCanToggle(false);
                        newField.setEditorProperties(editor);

hmm
.

[Blama]

Yes, that is that I meant. What happens if you change

LinkedHashMap<Boolean, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<>(2);
LinkedHashMap<Boolean, String> activeValueMap= new LinkedHashMap<[B]Boolean, String[/B]>(2);

for both valueMaps? If that does not work, you should create a testcase for Isomorphic to check (also mention your version+build then).

[mtmattek]

ok.. no difference there. guess I will try to post a case. Just to be clear, there is only one value map (on the select item), correct?

Thanks so much for your help, btw :)

[Blama]

One one the SelectItem, one on the ListGridField itself.
I don't know if it causes a problem if you reuse the same object here.

[mtmattek]

no dice.. set it on both (tried using a new Map, just to be sure).

[mtmattek]

a real dumb question.. i tried changing it to a checkbox just to see if it worked and it ONLY changed the header/filter bar appearance, not the grid. Am i missing something obvious here? do I need a cell formatter?

[Blama]

Your goal is:

• ListGrid edit mode: 2-value dropdown with current value selected -> editorProperties
• filterrow: 2-value dropdown -> filterEditorProperties
• ListGrid display mode: Strings "Yes", "No" -> IMHO setValueMap and cellFormatter both will work.

Also the DS-Field in the underlying DataSource should be type="boolean".
