Question

Just getting frustrated by something that should be an easy fix, but I’m too simple minded to see it 🙂

I’m having a grid where 1 column is a combobox. The thing works just fine and the correct value is beeing sent through my ajax request, but after I edited the grid row, the combobox disappread and the value that comes into place is not the label, but the value.

editor: new Ext.form.field.ComboBox({
            typeAhead: true,
            lazyRender: true,
            store: new Ext.data.ArrayStore({
                fields: ['contact', 'contactLabel'],
                data: [
                    [1,'Jan'],
                    [2,'Jeroen'],
                    [3,'Mattijs'],
                    [4,'Sven'],
                    [5,'Thomas'],
                    [6,'Yoran']
                ]
            }),
            valueField: 'contact',
            displayField: 'contactLabel',
            hiddenName: 'contact'
        })

So what happens is that when I change the combobox to i.e.. “Thomas”, the value of the cell becomes “5”, instead of “Thomas”. I thought that defining value/display fields would make a difference, but it does not.

Anyone that knows the answer?

I am not quite sure if I got you right. If so you will need a renderer for that. I guess the example below the code snipped should show you if you are meaning such a case.

// the renderer. You should define it within a namespace
var comboBoxRenderer = function(combo) {
  return function(value) {
    var idx = combo.store.find(combo.valueField, value);
    var rec = combo.store.getAt(idx);
    return (rec === null ? '' : rec.get(combo.displayField) );
  };
}

// the edit combo
var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
  store: store,
  valueField: "value",
  displayField: "text"
});

See this full working example for both (cellEditing + rowEditing) JSFiddle ()

Here’s the complete code

Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    storeId:'simpsonsStore',
    fields:['name', 'email', 'phone', 'id'],
    data:{'items':[
        {"name":"Lisa", "email":"[e-mail]", "phone":"555-111-1224","id": 0},
        {"name":"Bart", "email":"[e-mail]", "phone":"555-222-1234","id": 1},
        {"name":"Homer", "email":"[e-mail]", "phone":"555-222-1244","id": 2},
        {"name":"Marge", "email":"[e-mail]", "phone":"555-222-1254","id": 3}
    ]},
    proxy: {
        type: 'memory',
        reader: {
            type: 'json',
            root: 'items'
        }
    }
});

    // the combo store
var store = new Ext.data.SimpleStore({
  fields: [ "value", "text" ],
  data: [
    [ 0, "Option 0" ],
    [ 1, "Option 1" ],
    [ 2, "Option 2" ],
    [ 3, "Option 3" ]
  ]
});

// the renderer. You should define it within a namespace
var comboBoxRenderer = function(combo) {
  return function(value) {
    var idx = combo.store.find(combo.valueField, value);
    var rec = combo.store.getAt(idx);
    return (rec === null ? '' : rec.get(combo.displayField) );
  };
}

// the edit combo
var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
  store: store,
  valueField: "value",
  displayField: "text"
});
