GXT 3 GridRowEditing SimpleComboBox entries not displayed - gwt

Question

i'm currently using a GXT3 grid to display data from a custom object EntityDAO.
This class contains 3 attributes: an id and two references to complex type objects
Let's call them
Long id;
UserInfo userInfo;
OutputInfo outputInfo;
I created an interface to explicit the desired display of these info:
interface EntityDAOProperties extends PropertyAccess<EntityDAO> {
ModelKeyProvider<EntityDAO> id();
#Path("userInfo.name")
ValueProvider<EntityDAO, String> step();
#Path("outputInfo.name")
ValueProvider<EntityDAO, String> outputInfo();
}
The display is perfectly fine. The matter is that i want to be able to add/edit rows to my grid.
To do so, I have a
GridRowEditing<EntityDAO> editing = createGridEditing(grid);
comprising a
SimpleComboBox<String> comboUser = new SimpleComboBox<String>(new LabelProvider<String>() {
#Override
public String getLabel(String item) {
return item;
}
});
for(...){
comboUser.add("entry " + i); // For instance
logger.info("entry : " +i); // For instance
i++;
}
comboUser.setEditable(false);
comboUser.setTriggerAction(TriggerAction.ALL);
When i double click on my line and make the GridRowEditing appear, the combo doesn't seem to have more than 1 row and the click on the expand arrow doesn't change anything to the matter.

I think you miss the part where you set the property editor for the combobox, here is the example code:
SimpleComboBox<Light> combo = new SimpleComboBox<Light>(new StringLabelProvider<Light>());
combo.setClearValueOnParseError(false);
combo.setPropertyEditor(new PropertyEditor<Light>() {
#Override
public Light parse(CharSequence text) throws ParseException {
return Light.parseString(text.toString());
}
#Override
public String render(Light object) {
return object == null ? Light.SUNNY.toString() : object.toString();
}
});
combo.setTriggerAction(TriggerAction.ALL);
combo.add(Light.SUNNY);
combo.add(Light.MOSTLYSUNNY);
combo.add(Light.SUNORSHADE);
combo.add(Light.MOSTLYSHADY);
combo.add(Light.SHADE);
// combo.setForceSelection(true);
editing.addEditor(cc2, new Converter<String, Light>() {
#Override
public String convertFieldValue(Light object) {
return object == null ? "" : object.toString();
}
#Override
public Light convertModelValue(String object) {
try {
return Light.parseString(object);
} catch (ParseException e) {
return null;
}
}
}, combo);
Hope this could help you.
