This must be a bug. I can see the display values and return the values with a combox, if I make it a Type Ahead, I can see the dipay values, but the return values are not inserted when selected.
Has to be something invoving find mode and type ahead lists.
Thanks,

I think the behaviour you describe is fixed in 2.2.1rc
can you test?
Ok, Sorry I will wait till the next stable build comes out after the Java 1.4 stuff gets resolved.
Thanks
I have downloaded the new version and am still having the same problem. If the field is a type ahead, when I select the account, the field is reset to 0 (int default).
If I use as a combobox, everything works fine.

Long shot but could this problem be related to the requirement to ‘double-click’ a type-ahead field (or use arrow keys & ) - but only needing a single-click to select from a Combo-box ??

This problem is still there…
Specially in FormInDialogs, TypeaHead is not workable. User has to type the whole line to get the right data returned.

I would think that this would be a pretty common scenario, I am surprized that more people are not having issues. I guess they are working on it.

Soo… It’s not really clear what you mean by this?
Well, I meant that the Servoy team must be working on it. Maybe not, just a guess.

Have you upgraded to the latest build? Have just tested type-ahead field on a FiD and it worked as expected on b332.
As I added/removed letters the list changed as expected - displaying Customer name but storing cust_ID.

Hi Graham! Did you tested this on a FormInDialog (and on a Mac), too?
Graham,
This is the version I am using. Well, I must be doing something wrong, are you entering the data in a global int field?

Yes the TypeAhead is working in a Form-in-Dialog - sorry not able to test on a Mac at moment.
It’s some time since I built this solution and not quite as straightfoward as I remembered. Have attached screenshot of part of a Quotation system - this is one of three Tab panels on a Form in Dialog based on a Product_Transactions table.
clicking on [Customer] button or in the REL_cm_name field triggers a Method that does a requestFocus on the TypeAhead field <zr_cm_cust_sn> - small field with FG/BG same colour
<zr_cm_cust_sn> is the FK pointing to Customers database
the ValueList displays Customer Names and onDataChange stores the Customer_ID in <zr_cm_cust_sn>. The REL_cm_name field just displays the Name through a relationship using <zr_cm_cust_sn>.
Can’t remember why I built it this way - maybe too much coffee that day
Have explained in some detail in case this will help you find a (schh whisper the word) ‘workaround’.

Well, seems to be working for you I guess.
I basically have a simple relationship based value list that returns a Customer ID Number (Int). I have enclosed a screen shot, As you can see I have both a combo list and a type ahead, both lists work fine, but when selecting the account in the type ahead, nothing is returned.
