@carlw Thank you. I have user println() in ui{} that prints the expected result but the ui does not update the value of the object.

ok so there's no obvious failure?

yes

When I use object it updates but combobox does support object

so when I do object.value, combobox displays only the initial value and does not update

runAsync {}ui{} works well but it is combobox and TextFileds run just once

and treats object.value as readOnly

I am just guessing, ahaha

I have been on this the whole day😥

this is how the object appears

but when I do object.value, the expected list does not display

so there is no sign of failure in the part of runAsync{ } ui { } since the above screen shows object with data from the database.

does it work for you with simple string types?

yes but combobox values expects a collection

If you have a way round this or a working solution, please share. thanks

@Boyong Your combobox list doesn't update because you simply passed it a list. You need to pass it an observable list instead.

@Boyong Since your list item doesn't have a nice

toString()

you need to pass in a

cellFormat {}

and assign

text = yourValueDerivedFromIt

@edvin Thank you very much yet it seems I am missing out something. Please help me with some code snippet

@edvin So far this is how I have done but it does not still work

combobox(treatment) {
                                makeAutocompletable()
                                cellFormat {
                                    text = treatmentList.value.toString()
                                }

                            }

where

treatmentList.value

is an observable list

@edvin I still need help. Thanks

@edvin I have made the code on Stack Overflow runnable ☺️

You are not using the ObservableList. You are changing the contents of the property containing the list. The combobox never knows about the

treatmentList

property, therefore it cannot observe on it. Try making

treatmentList

an

ObservableList<String>

. Then, you can do

treatmentList.setAll(*it)

in `runAsync`s

ui

block.

@SiebelsTim Thank you very much. It works. Thanks again to you all for helping me.

Hi how can I edit cellFormat text based on @edvin response here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48995661/makeeditable-doesnt-work-when-setting-cellformat

I tried this but it does not seem to work

I have the same issue but in my case I am concern about the text and not decoration

Are you having trouble editing the treatmentId ?

@Boyong Does this example work for you? Double-clicking will switch the Label for a TextField.

@carlw Some how. I want the cell of treatmentId to be editable and also that the text in the cell should be the treatment itself and not the id.
