dijit.form.Combobox and accept value not in values

Hi all,

I have an XPage with a repeat control with a custom control to display a form for a set of documents. On the form is a Combobox control.

I would like the combobox to behave like the Notes client equivalent and "allow values not in list".

I tried the dijit.form.ComboBox, but the value isn't written to the NotesDocument if a user enters a value that is not in the list manually.

I did the following

Add a combobox to the Xpage.
Assigned a set of predefined values to the combo.
Added the dijit.form.ComboBox to the XPages Resources
Changed to dijit.form.ComboBox.

Many thanks in advance for any tips.

Bas

We used a normal input field...

- Instead of putting a combo box XPage control in, put a normal text input box and apply dijit.form.ComboBox to that.

Hope this helps...

Hi Tommy,

I ended up installing the Extension Library and adding a djCombobox. But tried your code afterwards and works great. Prefer this option not having to rely on the ExtLib.

Thanks!
