I want to add and empty item (display value is blank, item height is kept as normal) to an Ext.form.ComboBox. I refered 2 links below to configure my combobox, but it still not display the empty item:
Here is my code:
this.abcCombo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
name : 'abcCombo',
hiddenName : 'abcCombo-id',
fieldLabel : "My Combobox",
width : 250,
editable : false,
forceSelection : true,
mode : 'local',
triggerAction : 'all',
valueField : 'id',
displayField : 'fullName',
store : new Ext.data.JsonStore({
fields : ['id', 'fullName']
}),
tpl : '<tpl for="."><div class="x-combo-list-item">{fullName} </div></tpl>'
});
The combobox store's data will be loaded after an Ajax request (i.e 3 items in data items). And the combobox has only 3 item (not 4 as I expected). Do you have any idea about my problem?! Thank you so much!
Since your adding the combobox values later, why not just initialize the store with one blank value:
store : new Ext.data.JsonStore({
fields : ['id', 'fullName'],
data : [{id: 0, fullName: ''}]
}),
Later when you do store.add(theRestOfThem)
, that blank one will still be there.
Had to revisit this today (15 Apr 2017) for ExtJS 4.2:
The easiest way is to include an empty string in the store as above, it can also be done with a load listener on the store:
listeners:
{
load: function(store, records)
{
store.insert(0, [{
fullName: '',
id: null
}]);
}
}
Then add a tpl
config to the combobox with
after the display field:
tpl: '<tpl for="."><div class="x-boundlist-item">{fullName} </div></tpl>',
(the display field is fullName
in the OPs case)
