Combo rendering not working well about alloy HOT 6 CLOSED

I think the overlapping is a problem with the renderer's z-sorting.

Also, it is a combo-box, just not a combination of a search field and drop down, but a button and a drop down.

Would it be handy for a combo box to have a default value as in:
(combo (alloy:represent selection 'alloy:combo-set :value-set '(:a :b :c) :default :foo)))
to fill the box with when nothing is explicitly chosen? When no :default is supplied the box stays empty.

Maybe this default value could also be the first element of the :value-set and you would supply NIL if you wanted the box to be empty.

The "default" is whatever the data is set to when you represent it. So in your case, make sure selection is set to an actual element that's part of the value-set.

Having the combo be a search field to trim down on possible entries in the set would be very good though. Just not sure how to go about it yet.

There are definitely a lot of "modern" UI components that would be nice to have. From elements as small as chips to things as big as date selectors.

from alloy.

Stuff like a date selector, and arguably the combo, too, should rather be structures than components. So far I've intended on keeping components as minimal as possible, and instead making everything else a structure -- a combination of layouts and components.

That part of Alloy needs some rethinking, though.
