Flex custom item renderer for the displayed item in the combobox
I am using a custom item renderer in a combobox to display a custom drawing instead of the default text label.
This works fine for the dropdown list but the displayed item ( when the list is closed) is still the textual representation of my object.
Is there a way to have the displayed item rendered the same way as the one in the dropdown?
By default you cannot do this. However, if you extend ComboBox you can add this functionality easily. Here is a quick example, it is a rough version and probably needs testing / tweaking but it shows how you could accomplish this.
package
{
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class ComboBox2 extends ComboBox
{
public function ComboBox2()
{
super();
}
protected var textInputReplacement:UIComponent;
override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();
if ( !textInputReplacement ) {
if ( itemRenderer != null ) {
//remove the default textInput
removeChild(textInput);
//create a new itemRenderer to use in place of the text input
textInputReplacement = itemRenderer.newInstance();
addChild(textInputReplacement);
}
}
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if ( textInputReplacement ) {
textInputReplacement.width = unscaledWidth;
textInputReplacement.height = unscaledHeight;
}
}
}
}
I tried the above solution, but found that the selectedItem did not display when the combobox was closed. A extra line of code was required to bind the itemRenderer data property to the selectedItem:
if ( !textInputReplacement ) {
if ( itemRenderer != null ) {
//remove the default textInput
removeChild(textInput);
//create a new itemRenderer to use in place of the text input
textInputReplacement = itemRenderer.newInstance();
// ADD THIS BINDING:
// Bind the data of the textInputReplacement to the selected item
BindingUtils.bindProperty(textInputReplacement, "data", this, "selectedItem", true);
addChild(textInputReplacement);
}
}
I've extended Dane's code a bit further. In some cases clicking did not open the drop box with my renderer and I noticed that the normal Flex ComboBox skins did not fire. Thus in replaceTextInput() I added some additional event listeners and save a reference to the ComboBox button used to display the skins. Now it behaves just like the normal ComboBox.
Here's the code:
package

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import mx.binding.utils.BindingUtils;
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
import mx.core.IFactory;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.events.DropdownEvent;
