Hi

assuming that you use the patch that updates the value

 

or you update the selectedItem in the handler

Okay, Jan is there a method to somehow force the dropdown to select the first option if i dont know the option value? In the example below someValue should be an existing value of the dropdown, but if i dont know it, as dropdown was filled dynamically, i need sometimes to make it show some element..

I have several probelms with dropdown, as it sometimes just lost the focus, so the selectedItem returns nil, and as so my other part of the code, that is dependent on that item fails..so in cases when the dropdown looses focus, (despite of showing some element in UI it returns nil for selectedItem, i need to reClick it manually) i can artificially click on it to selecte the first existing element

self:updateView("dd","selectedItem", someValue)

Ahh i see, the button onReleased handler doesnt trigger, why?

Do you get a warning?

...and it only works after you done the first selection (initially it returns nil)

no it doesn't log anything, and i made the click too but nothing..I tried just print a simple text but it is not triggered, also tried to remove onReleased handling from your handler to no affect the button click but still nothing

This callback for button doesnt even logs L is..nil or something..it just doesn't get there, if i leave there just the print part like pring("xxx") then it triggers
