ComboBoxItem with multi checkbox selection

[RotemMSP]

Hello,

I'm using SmartClient_v91p_2014-03-23_PowerEdition and I'm trying to achieve MultiComboBox control that will show values in a grid via option data source and allow me to select multi values by checking a checkbox. I am able to show ComboBox with an option data source perfectly but when I try to add multi selection everything get messy. This is my code:

{ /* autocomplete */

          ID: "release_control_id",

          name:"release",

          title:"Release",

          multipleAppearance:"picklist",

          multiple: true,

          editorType:"ComboBoxItem",

          optionDataSource:"release_list",

          

          pickListFields: [

          
            { name: "_copyTo", hidden: true },
            
            { name: "id", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "name", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "portfolio$name", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "startDate", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "endDate", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "deliveryQaManager$fullName", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "customerReleaseManager$fullName", hidden: false },
            
            { name: "status$name", hidden: false },
            

          ]

        }

Thank you

To use MultiComboBoxItem, set editorType:"MultiComboBoxItem".

Using multiple:true when you are explicitly specifying the editorType as "ComboBoxItem" does not work, because MultiComboBoxItem is actually a different UI component, not a different mode of ComboBoxItem.

but I want to use checkboxes to select the values ... I thought that the MultiComboBoxItem allow you to select value only with value buttons.

We have two modes available:

1. use SelectItem w/multiple:true. Has checkboxes, but does not allow end user filtering, because this would remove the checked items from view, leaving the user no way to uncheck.

2. MultiComboBoxItem

So I'm using the MultiComboBoxItem but now I don't see the fields in a grid, I only see one field.

Sorry, you will need to be (much) more specific.

Well, I'm setting pickerListFields to see a grid drop down. But when I use the MultiComboBox I only see one field when clicking on "enter value". When using a ComboBoxItem I see the grid.

See docs for MultiComboBoxItem - there is no pickListFields property directly on MultiComboBoxItem, it should be set on the "comboBox" AutoChild of MultiComboBoxItem.

Cool, working great!
