class ComboBox
package feathers.controls
extends FeathersControl › MeasureSprite › ValidatingSprite
implements IFocusObject, IDataSelector<Dynamic>, IIndexSelector
Displays a control consisting of a TextInput and Button that allows an
item from a collection to be selected. When the button is triggered, a list
box of items is displayed as a pop-up. The text input allows filtering, or
(optionally) choosing custom items.
The following example creates a ComboBox, gives it a data provider, tells
the item renderer how to interpret the data, and listens for when the
selection changes:
var comboBox = new ComboBox();
comboBox.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection([
{ text: "Milk" },
{ text: "Eggs" },
{ text: "Bread" },
{ text: "Steak" },
]);
comboBox.itemToText = (item:Dynamic) -> {
return item.text;
};
comboBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, (event:Event) -> {
var comboBox = cast(event.currentTarget, ComboBox);
trace("ComboBox changed: " + comboBox.selectedIndex + " " + comboBox.selectedItem.text);
});
this.addChild(comboBox);Events:
openfl.events.Event.CHANGE | Dispatched when either
|
|---|---|
openfl.events.Event.OPEN | Dispatched when the pop-up list view is opened. |
openfl.events.Event.CLOSE | Dispatched when the pop-up list view is closed. |
feathers.events.ListViewEvent.ITEM_TRIGGER | Dispatched when the user taps or clicks an item renderer in the pop-up list view. The pointer must remain within the bounds of the item renderer on release, and the list view cannot scroll before release, or the gesture will be ignored. |

dataProvider:IFlatCollection<Dynamic>
The collection of data displayed by the list.
Items in the collection must be class instances or anonymous structures. Do not add primitive values (such as strings, booleans, or numeric values) directly to the collection.
Additionally, all items in the collection must be unique object instances. Do not add the same instance to the collection more than once because a runtime exception will be thrown.
The following example passes in a data provider and tells the item renderer how to interpret the data:
comboBox.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection([
{ text: "Milk" },
{ text: "Eggs" },
{ text: "Bread" },
{ text: "Chicken" },
]);
comboBox.itemToText = (item:Dynamic) -> {
return item.text;
};1.0.0
.See also:
itemRendererRecycler:DisplayObjectRecycler<Dynamic, ListViewItemState, DisplayObject>
Manages item renderers used by the list view.
In the following example, the pop-up list view uses a custom item renderer class:
comboBox.itemRendererRecycler = DisplayObjectRecycler.withClass(CustomItemRenderer);1.0.0
.openListViewOnFocus:Bool = false
Determines if the pop-up list should automatically open when the combo box receives focus, or if the user is required to click the open button.

Methods
closeListView():Void
Closes the pop-up list, if it is open.
The following example closes the pop-up list:
if(comboBox.open)
{
comboBox.closeListView();
}When the pop-up list closes, the component will dispatch an event of
type Event.CLOSE.

.See also:
openfl.events.Event.CLOSE
dynamicitemToText(data:Dynamic):String
Converts an item to text to display within the pop-up ListView, or
within the Button, if the item is selected. By default, the
toString() method is called to convert an item to text. This method
may be replaced to provide custom text.
For example, consider the following item:
{ text: "Example Item" }If the ListView should display the text "Example Item", a custom
implementation of itemToText() might look like this:
comboBox.itemToText = (item:Dynamic) -> {
return item.text;
};1.0.0
.openListView():Void
Opens the pop-up list, if it is not already open.
The following example opens the pop-up list:
if(!comboBox.open)
{
comboBox.openListView();
}When the pop-up list opens, the component will dispatch an event of type
Event.OPEN.
