Enhanced "Select One" drop down - how to add Links at the end

[vineyard]

Hi,

Here is one of our requirement:

Let us say, we have list of "Departments" in university.

The requirement is, We need to display the list of all available deparments in a "Drop down" (select one) menu and at the end of the menu, we need to add "New" and clicking on this new should open a rich:modalPanel where user can enter the department name and save it.

This is fine if we have to do with h:selectOne and f:selectItems

But what we want is, our drop down manu should be graphical i.e. something that lookis like "rich:comboBox" and then at the end of the menu items, we should be able to add a horizontal line and then a menu item "New".

Please let me know what are the components that I can use to achieve this.

Can we add "facet" to rich:comboBox", I tried adding facet name="header" but it did not work.

Also, can we facet to rich:suggestionBox?

Thank you in advance.

hi,

you can add a selectitem with label "new", open your modalpanel when select it.

Thanks Hu.

This works fine. But in our requirement, we need to include more graphics and a separator line (image) between all available options (departments) and "New".

Again thanks for the reply.
