I’d like to display a list of already registered names.
And, If a name is not set have the possibility to add it.

Found no way to achieve this
Also, it would be useful if we had the ability to add subtext to each row to provide extra info like an ID or an address
This is what you are looking for: https://vaadin.com/api/com/vaadin/ui/AbstractSelect.html#setNewItemsAllowed-boolean-
Not really, in the case of names duplicate names can happen
So I may already have a John Smith but want to add another one which wouldn’t be possible with this combo box as of yet
Duplicates are possible if you use the right ContainerDataSource and a NewItemHandler. See this example: https://dev.vaadin.com/svn/doc/book-examples/branches/vaadin-7/src/com/vaadin/book/examples/component/ComboBoxExample.java (method
newItemHandler())
I’m using the web component though
Mh, not so obvious when you are posting in “Framework” but actually using an “Element” …
Well that’s either a moderator error or a nasty bug in your system. As the screenshot clearly shows I posted it in the elements sections…
Well it is not “my” system, I am just a user. But would be a nasty bug indeed.
Thanks anyway. Guess fiddling with the sources by myself will be easier
