Hi Hillel , I happened to see the link that you have sent for tips and techniques for proper coding , it was informative and will help in designing software, thanks for sharing this and I have one issue with the autocomplete , is there any way we can replace the text with in the autocomplete which is an object ,Can you please let me know whether we can replace it with text

I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m following your question. Could you please try putting it another way.
Hi Hillel ,
My requirement is to multiselect from the Autocomplete and we have go button which is responsible for taking the selected values and sending it to the back end and getting the values and sometimes the selected values could be around 10 and its overlapping with the datagrid below and not looking good , so we have decided to reduce the height of the autocomplete to to 19 and again when we click on the autocomplete we have agreed to show again the values selected .
I tried to set the height to 19 at runtime when we selecte multiple values and hit on go .but the height is not getting changed for some reason and I see that the autocomplete is with in the canvas which has some height specifies , is it not taking the height because of the parent containers explicit height and flex is automatically setting the height of the autocomplete .
Iam kind of confused on this and one more issue is when we store the previously selected values and apply it to the combo box as combo.selectedItems and when we
if(commonModelL.selectedItems != null && commonModelL.selectedItems.length!=0 ){
Combo.selectedItems = commonModelL.selectedItems;
}
ombo.showBrowser();
I would like to show the allready selected items and currently selected item , how do we achieve it .
Thanks
Sid
You may want to try setting the selectionLayout property to vertical, that way the component won’t need to change size.
Hi Hillel ,
Issue here is the space , we have this component on a canvas which inturn contains several combo’s , so we have to adjust to multile values by adjusting the height at runtime.

You may want to try using the source and overriding the measure and updateDisplayList functions in FlowBox.mxml to better suit your needs.
