Comments on: Creating a simple label function on a Flex ComboBox control http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/25/creating-a-simple-label-function-on-a-flex-combobox-control/ Just a bunch of Adobe Flex Examples Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:26:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Myupe http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/25/creating-a-simple-label-function-on-a-flex-combobox-control/comment-page-1/#comment-6984 Myupe Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:33:04 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/25/creating-a-simple-label-function-on-a-flex-combobox-control/#comment-6984 Hi Peter, I was wondering if it's possible to replace the label field with a field that is not a String type, such as image. I searched and find several solutions, but they all extends the Combobox object with a new "ImageComboBox" or "IconComboBox" etc. objects. Is it possible to do it without create a new class which extends the mx combobox? Thanks, Myupe. Hi Peter,

Does this work for you?

<mx:ComboBox id="comboBox"
        prompt="Please select a State..."
        dataProvider="{statesXMLList}"
        labelField="@abbrev"
        change="comboBox.text = comboBox.selectedItem.@name;"
        closeDuration="0" />

In the example you give, how could we display in the dropdown list name (ABBREV), but when the option's selected from it, just display the name. I mistakenly thought i could achieve this, by setting the labelfunction to display the first part, and the second would be handled by the labelField, but it appears labelFunction overwrites labelField. So i was wondering if this is possible at all. Thanks in advance, Regards Hi Peter,

I'm new at Flex and I'm having trouble with the above. Works great, except I can't figure out how to something with what appears in the combobox? While the label appears to be formatted, showing the correct XML rows, the actually stored data variable still shows [object:Object]. Any help on where I can figure this out? Thanks.
