nativeSelect

Hello,

Im very new using vaadin, and im very excit to use, but i have an issue with nativeSelects.

Coming from html the SELECT there are 2 values, "value" and "description", becouse i want to show a distinct value than the value that i work (codes normaly)

then, in my code:

NativeSelect select = new NativeSelect();
select .setNullSelectionAllowed(false);
select .setImmediate(true);
for(int i=0; i<10; i++){        
    cbTDocumento.addItem("item"+i);
}

i get value with:

select.getValue();

ok, ¿how can set the internal value for work with codes?

Thx!

Hi,

I'm not sure I got your question right, but if cbTDocumento == select, you can individually set the caption for each item as follows:

for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
    String itemId = "item" + i;        
    select.addItem(itemId);
    select.setItemCaption(itemId, "Caption for item" + i);
}

The UI will show "Caption for item0", "Caption for item1", etc. and the getValue() method will return something like "item0", "item1", etc.

You may also want to take a look at the setItemCaptionPropertyId method.
