B4J Question [XUI] Parsing the ComboBox as B4XView, is it by design that .value its left out?

Hi

I'm looping through items in the B4X CustomListView.

Dim index As Int = lstCRUD.GetItemFromView(Sender)
    Dim pnl As B4XView = lstCRUD.GetPanel(index)
    For Each v As B4XView In pnl.GetAllViewsRecursive
        Select Case v.Tag
            Case "txtFieldName"
                nField = v.text
                nrecord.put("FieldName",v.Text)
            Case "chkEnabled"
                nrecord.Put("Enabled", jMash.iif(v.Checked=True,"1","0"))
            Case "cboComponent"
                Dim cbo As ComboBox = v
                nrecord.put("ComponentType",cbo.value)

Whilst the text and checkboxes are being parsed well to return .text and .checked, I had to define a combobox first then assign it to a B4XView for it to return my value as there is no .value property for B4XView.

Is it by design that its left out and that we have to define temporal comboboxes first to read the b4xview or perhaps my impatience?

Thanks.

See XUI tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-cross-platform-native-ui-library.84359/
XUI is designed to work together with the native types, not to replace them.

There is no iOS view equivalent to ComboBox. XUI currently doesn't provide access to ComboBox items.

XUI currently doesn't provide access to ComboBox items.

Noted with thanks, I just thought because there was a .Text property and .Checked property where the B4XViews were TextField and CheckBox respectively, there would be a .Value property for the B4J combobox.

That's sufficient then. Ta!
