Convertor differences between rich:comboBox and h:selectOneMenu

[radu321]

Hi,

I need to change some h:selectOneMenu's with rich:comboBox controls , but when i had a convertor defined for h:selectOneMenu, this it seems to stop working when i attached it to rich:comboBox, (when i used it with rich:inplaceSelect it's ok).

As i noticed from html files, the rich:comboBox was rendered as an input tag instead as a select one rendered in h:selectOneMenu case, could this influence converter behavior ?

Also the fact that itemLabel is not recognized for f:selectItem could affect this ?

Could converterMessage and converter be used in a such way to simulate h:selectOneMenu's converter ?

Please if you have an example where converter is used for rich:comboBox, or if you have an ideea about this strange behavior give me a hand.

Thanks

Any suggestions ?

comboBox component designed to provide input component with client side suggestions. It's not a select by nature.

Hi,

Thank you very much for posting.

  Yes, i read also in documentation that combo box was build using sugestion box. And i belive that this is component's natural behavior.
