richfaces 4 with jsf 2.1, rich:dropdownmenu like rich:select

[zakim2000]

Hi!

How can I create a rich:dropdownmenu like combobox in richfaces?

I used h:selectonemenu with selectitemgroup items because rich:select doesn't handle selectitemgroup properly.

It compiles as <select><optgroup><option>...</optgroup></select> in HTML.

I need dropdownmenu like combobox where near every group there is a small arrow to the right and when I select that group it opens a submenu just like the dropdownmenu.

I cannot use dropdownmenu.

Thnx

Hello Zakarias, if there is problem with rich:select rendered code, could you please report a issue and possibly show your sample code (page + bean + generated code)?

Thanks,

You are trying to achieve similar concept like in RichFaces Showcase?

Yeah, something like that, but with a combobox.

Option1, 2 and 3 should be in a combobox.

[zakim2000]

yeah, simple as this

xhtml codefragment:

< rich:dataTable value="#{moneyPageBean.dataTable}"

var="row" id ='data' rowKeyVar ="idx"style ="width:730px"styleClass="moneyTable">

  < rich:column colspan="5">

<rich:select value="{row.tettipaz}">

< f:selectItems value="#{moneyPageBean.itemTypeCombo}">

</rich:select>

...where {row.tettipaz} is a Long value

bean code fragment:

public List<SelectItemGroup> getItemTypeCombo() {

itemTypeCombo = new ArrayList<SelectItemGroup>();

List<ItemGroup> itemGroups = itemGroupService .selectAllItemGroup();

  for (ItemGroup itemGroup : itemGroups) {

SelectItemGroup sig = new SelectItemGroup();

sig.setLabel(itemGroup.getNev());

List<ItemType> itemSubTypes = itemTypeService .itemTypesByItemGroupId(itemGroup.getTetcsopaz(),

getUser().getFelaz());

SelectItem[] subItems = new SelectItem[itemSubTypes.size()];

  for (int i = 0; i < itemSubTypes.size(); i++) {

subItems[i] = new SelectItem(itemSubTypes.get(i).getTettipaz(), itemSubTypes.get(i).getNev());

}

sig.setSelectItems(subItems);

itemTypeCombo .add(sig);

}

return itemTypeCombo ;

  }

And only the selectitemgroup labels are rendered in the resulting combobox. The selectitems are not visible.
